Default 5 inch backspacing wheels

I am currently using Weld Prostars 8 inch wheels with 4.5 and 5.5 back spacing. Evidently weld doesnt offer 5 inch back spacing on a 8 inch wheel. Who offers 5 inch back spacing (8 inch) in a reasonably priced wheel? Thanks, Ron.

Post Re: 5 inch backspacing wheels

Holeshot Wheels in Bunnell, FL makes wheels with backspacings on 7/8" in one inch increments. i.e.: 3 7/8", 4 7/8", 5 7/8", etc. If the 4 7/8" isn't close enough, they can modify it a bit to adjust backspacing in between their regular production numbers. Rears are 3 piece and available with a wide variety of center designs and any just about bolt pattern.

Centerline has them. ConvoPro's, etc. More in line with the price of the weld's you have now. The Holeshot's do look good, and guessing they are lighter? Know Myron and some others on here have had good luck with them.
Good luck.
Ken

I have Hole Shots with a 4 7/8" backspace and as Myron said, they will make them with whatever spacing you want. Lighter than Welds. Great people to work with also. Jim
