Wheels & Backspacing

hotrods1795 · 08-10-2011, 10:04 PM

I am in the process of building a 69 Barracuda stocker to run a 9 inch tire on the stock wheel base. What size wheel should I use and what should the backspacing be for the wheel? The car has Caltrac suspension. Is there anything specific I should know to set up this suspension?

Thanks in advance!!!

10" wheel with a 4.5" backspace will work just fine with the CalTrac system on the A and F body. Jim
