    Backspacing of B6 17" Sport Wheels?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Selling a set of 17" sport wheels off my B6 A4 and the guy buying them wants to know the distance from the face of the hub to the back of the spoke to see if it will clear his boxter brakes. I do not have the tools to accurately measure the backspacing of the wheel so does anyone else?

    I looked online for a backspacing measurement but had no luck. If you know these wheels clear boxster brakes for sure also let me know! Thanks for the help!

    That's not backspacing. Backspacing is from the hub face to the back of the wheel rim. To get the measurement you're needing just put something flat on the hub face and use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure from the spoke to the flat surface.

    Yeah I ended up buying a little micrometer and figured it's 28mm. Thanks!
