Hello all! I just picked up a 1969 A108 Sportsman and have my first of probably hundreds of questions... I'm looking at a set of wheels and was wondering if anyone knows if a 3.5" backspace will work on a 108 without issue? I'm pretty sure the lug spacing of 5x4.5 is correct and I know my van currently has 15" wheels so I can't see anything other the the backspace that could be a problem. Any advice? Am I wrong about the lug pattern?
I'll post pictures of my van soon enough. Its kinda beat and ugly right now but mechanically it's really fantastic and I can't wait to dig into this thing.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to getting to know some of you and annoying you with stupid questions. I have a long background in vintage European cars and motorcycles but this will be the first loaf of bread I have ever worked on. Can't wait!
Thanks,
Jack
