Vector backspace

I received an email from AR about the backspace issue of 5" BS on the 15x8.5. Here is what I got back:

*Lewis:

We just reviewed our own Catalog and Application Guide from back in the 90’s and it shows the Buick Grand National fitment as 15x8” with a 4 7/8” backspacing. Just thought I’d pass this on…

Hopefully when they trial fit a set they will use a larger tire with some sidewall.

Also, AR decided that all the wheels will have dark gun metal grey centers. No black or natural as cast. All dark grey.

I don't think many people are going to like that backspacing at all...
