    Key wheel measurements to ensure MSRT fitment?

    I have already lived through one nightmare with wheel fitment on my MSRT, Can anyone identify the key wheel measurements to ensure fitment of aftermarket rims on an MSRT? Besides bolt pattern (5x115), I thought backspacing (6 inches) and offset (18-22) were the key numbers. It seems that another key measurement is the distance required to clear the brembo calipers in the front. I don't know what you call that measuremet. It seems to be the distance from the plane of the back of the hub mounting surface, to the back ofback of each spoke where it is closest to the caliper. Anyone know for sure. I don't want to deal with trying to send back another set of wheels because they don't fit even after the retailer guarantees fitment. There are thousands of wheel choices and I want a design that is different from others I have seen. It seems that the only way to know for sure, without being able to try them all, is to know all of the key measurements. If the answer exists, it has to be with the knowledgeable people on this forum.
