rocket ignitor wheels

I was wanting to put a set of ignitor wheels on my 68.
I looked on rockets web site and found only one back space
Offered on the 5 on 5 in a 7" width. The bs is 4.25. Will that be
OK on the front of a 68 with 2.5 " drop spindles and 2" drop springs?

Ordered the wheels, hope they fit OK .
A little unsure of the 4.25" backspace on
The front, but I think they will be fine. Thanks
For all the input from the "experts" on the site.

That bs on a 7in rim will be fine on the front. Did you get a wider rear wheel?

Well I got the wheels today, and 4.25 " of bs is too much bs.
Looks like 3.75 is max bs that will clear the arm on the spindles.
I/2" spacer will make them work but a pain in the butt.
