Re: wheel question

x2 on what Andy said.

There was a thread on here not too long ago explaining this very thing. For the lack of better words backspacing is the location of the center hub of the wheel where it bolts to the hub of your axle in relation to the outer part of the wheel. The higher the number on the backspacing the further your wheel will stick out from the hub of your axle or maybe it is the other way, hell I can't remember. I know someone that can explain it better than my retarded a** will chime in.
