Between the 5 wheels on my car (one is a spare, of course)I have three different models.
Three are stamped Kelsey Hayes 15*6 and 56 or 57.
One is stamped Kelsey Hayes 15*6 63 and the last one just 15*6 JK and 64.
I figure that the numbers include the year, but need more info
to determine which ones are correct for my car.

The wheels have two different offsets.
(Or, as I have seen somewhere,  back space...I guess back space means
the distance from the inside (opposite the wheel cover) edge of the rim
to the mounting surface, whereas offset is the distance from the center
of the rim to the mounting surface, positive, negative or neutral.)

In any case, can somebody help me with the correct offset and any other pertinent info?

Thanks
