Rear wheel lug pattern

[pigbike]

I have an older Lehman renegade kit which is about 2006 on a 2005 Harley Ultra. The rear wheels are the wire spoked 4 lug pattern Lehman wheels, and I would like to replace them with some nice polished wheels and new tires. I have no idea what the lug pattern is and what cars they would of fit, so I can look them up. Anyone know what model car would be the same rim?

The wheels are 4X4.25 bolt pattern. The standard 15X6" wheels have 25mm backspacing. 15x7" wheel needs 37-40 mm backspacing.

Not sure what backspacing means, but the tires I have now are wide. I was wondering if narrower tires would be a benefit? Current tires are Cooper Cobra P265/50/R15.

In 2003, Lehman change their philosophy on tire sizes.

They discovered that by changing tire sizes, from the 265/50R15 to a 205/70R15, improved the ride and decreased hydroplaning in wet conditions.

I like fat wide tires myself, and I hate to admit they are right.
