Backspacing question

J/SA Grand Prix · 03-26-2008, 11:07 AM

Morning everyone. I was looking at buying some aluma stars for my 76 trans am and was wondering if any of you own a 70-76 trans am because the backspacing should be the same. I am getting a ladder bar/coil over set up put on the car and was wondering when I get new wheels, what would the perfect backspacing be so the wheel fits under the stock wheel well width. I was also wondering what compound tire I should use for the best traction to go along with my ladder bars. I have always used the C07 compound, and ofcourse everyones opinion on tires is going to be biased. Little info on the car its weight is 55/45 and it weights 3305 with me in it. Any suggestions with backspacing and tire compound would be appreciated, I figured I would ask you stocker guys because just about everywhere I go and see your wheel standing, track biting phenoms, I become envious. Thanks for your time, Jake Howard H415
