Agreed. I just didn't want to add to his misunderstanding of backspace already since he was thinking Less backspace meant he would have more of an issue with the suspension. An 8 inch rim with 5 inch backspace doesn't have the same offset as a 7 inch rim with 5 inch backspace, etc. It's hard for some people to understand until they see it side by side in person.
