Re: Actual Wheel Backspace

Went and checked out MixerMike's collection. (Thanks Mike, nice to hang out with you for a bit) He is running 18x8.5 with 5" backspace. I am leaning towards 17x7 with 4.875" backspace. Mike brought up a good point that the face of the wheel might be too far in the fender and look goofy. Does this sound right? About ready to reorder and wait the 6 weeks again.

Speaking of looking goofy. Here is the first mounting of the 3.625 B/S wheels.
