Default Technical Wheel Question

Hi guys,

Wheel question:

What are the particulars for the V6 stock wheel? How does it differ from the V8 rims?

I'd like to know when shopping for new rims.

I know the basics, but what are the following?

V6 (16")
Bolt Circle: 5 x ???
Rear Spacing: ???
Offset: ???

V8 (17", 18")
Bolt Circle: assuming same as V6
Rear Spacing: ???
Offset: ???

Also, when switching to 17" or 18" I've seen reference to "stops". I'm assuming these are to prevent your wheels getting slammed into your fenderwells. What are they and where do they get installed?

Would you also need these on WIDER 16"s?

Thanks
SOHC
