16" ponies are 16 X 8 w/ 5" BS

i wanna say 10-holes are 15 X 7, and i'm sure 5" BS as well

turbines ???? not sure but probably like the 10-holes

you understand how to measure BS ?

put something across the back of the rim as a str8 edge and measure down to the mating surface(where the lug holes are)

even string can work so you can pull it tight, not be affected by the tire itself, and someone else measure w/ a tape

as far as stock width ? you can run a 10" tire on any of them..it will work trust me

i've had cheater slix on all of them in the past

I don't have the stock wheels anymore. I just bought a svo brake setup to upgrade the stock one and it also coverts to 5 lug. The axels are 1.25" longer so I'm trying to figure out what backspacing I need to run in order to clear the fenders with a 9 inch wheel.
