When I took the spring off and did articulation studies it looked like an ET of 15 - 20 was the narrow range that would work right on AN NA with that wide of tire to me. Anything else would compromise wheel cut or bump travel without doing allot more hacking than just the fender lip. What that works out too in backspace measurement varies by wheel manufacturer. The inside lip width seems to vary from ~1/4" to 5/8" depending on manufacturer then there is some manufacturers like Kodiak that measure backspace from the inside of the lip furthering the confusion. If they would all use ET it would be allot easier to figure out where the tire ends up relative to the hub.

LOL, first i've seen this post. I am the current owner of these wheels and was driving when the failure happened (interesting ride, glad it was ax and not track).
The age of the wheels was unknown, however the maintenance was not. When I purchased them used, they were 13x8. I packed them up and shipped them to Keiser requesting that they refurbish them and make them 13x9 in the process.
The wheels were put through some ax and NASA time trial events (tws,msr-c, hallett) and rode their fair share of curbs.
Keiser said they were older style magnesium centers and they have since changed them. Obviously there was no warranty, however they were very accomodating on options and prices for replacemet centers. They say their alum centers are stronger, but not as light (these are retarded light).
Overall, I'd not run the magnesium centers on roadcourses unless you are well under 2000 lbs, like some open wheel or radical type car.
For ax, they are badass light and fun.

edit. I should have done some searching before i posted, didnt take too long to find this, width is unkown but i doubt that even matters. You can see the gap between the rotors to give u an idea if u think theyd fit or not.

What about Weld Draglites? They are made in a 4 bolt pattern. Huge number of sizes and offsets. Mid 200's price wise. 15x10's look to weigh around 14.5lbs according to a quick search. Don't know how the drag wheel holds up to road course work but they are forged. Would be worth giving Weld a call and looking for recommendations.
