I believe they are 4.25" back space. It puts the inside edge extremely close to the tie rod ends. Thought I would have to run 1/4" spacers so put some longer studs in the hubs in preparation but ended up not needing to. The nubs accept stock type caps. One thing I found is that these wheels are not perfectly true from the manufacturer. I didn't notice that on the 15 X 6 set on bought for my Vette or the 14 X 7 set I put on the 65 GTO. Had to make sure that the two used on the front of the Blazer ran true - that's how close the inside wheel lip is to the tie rod end.
