Wheel help

NovaMan · 05-02-2007, 03:21 PM

I have 8 wheels with 5 backspace. I wish I had gotten maybe 5 1/8 backspace, but 5 works OK. Alot of guys use 4.5 backspace with no problem, so the best thing to do would be to borrow a wheel and tire from a friend and see if you need 4.5 or 5.
I measured my section width at 11.3 (275/60R15 BFG drag radials), and they rub just a tad. I might be wrong, but it seems like alot of Stock and Super Stock guys like to run 30x9s. They'd be a tight squeeze on 8 rims, and I don't think they would fit at all if you put them on a 10 wheel.
