Thanks

I building one too with my son.

I have a set of 10" rims with a 5" back spacing, but they are past the wheel well lip by at least an inch. I'm going to buy some 9" rims with a 5" back spacing. We're probably going to run a 28" tire since there's no point in having any more rotating mass than necessary with that combo.

You probably already know this, but the front rims should have 2.5" backspacing to look right. I have 1.75s on there and they look okay, but the deeper backspacing has a better appearance.
