I neeed to get some rims for my off road Thing.
The Thing catalog shows 15" wheels as being a 211 (early bus) part number.
What is the back spacing on a standard 15" bus wheel

Yes, but the red vertical dotted line looks like it is going off the outer face of the rim.

Would switch the descriptions of Face of wheel with the back of wheel to make it look clearer.
