Well it's 2-3/4".
I had problems getting the bolts to fit. The fronts I had to use my old ones as the ones given to me were to short. That's why the bolts are recessed so deep into the front wheel. Now for the back wheels I had to use new bolts as my old ones were to short esp. with the spacer. I have the ocassional scrape from the inside fender panel, but nothing too bad.
My one concern is that the bolt on the front wheel only turned two and half rotations before becoming too tight. Is that enough? The backs were okay as they got a full four rotations and you can see how far the bolt heads stick out.
In any event I will take them to sears 2morro to be checked out. Me and a buddy used an impact gun to mount these. I'm not taking any chances I wanna make sure these are the right bolts.

Ive had professional installers tell me "i ve done a million of these" dont worry these bolts are fine. Why would these rims fit Anthuny's car perfectly and not mine? I'll take ur advise and tomorrow go get it sorted out
