Default Complete n00b question about wheels...

What is meant by 5x5 or 5x4.5? I have never heard of that before, and was thinking about saving up for some AEV 17" pintler wheels..> Also, I know backspacing has been discussed before, but not sure which I would need if I plan on keeping my stock Rubi M/T's and just replacing the wheels.

Thanks for any input!

Here is some information about wheels from the FAQ.

The reference to 5 on 5 means that the wheel has 5 lug holes and they are 5 inches apart. 5 on 4.5 means that the wheel has 5 lug holes and they are 4.5 inches apart.

Hope that helps.
