Re: QA1 Suspenssion 335 tire?

Thanks for the response. I'm new to these years and forgot about the difference in track width with the disc brakes. My 71 was originally a leaf spring rear end that I converted to track arms with coilovers.

When I measured base plate to base plate, it measured just over 57".

The wheel fitment tool allowed me to check the clearance on the Coilover. It was just over 1" away with the 7.75 backspacing.

I think what confused me was people talking about the 6" backspacing and me not considering the difference in axle width.

I may end up doing 8" backspacing and run a spacer to give me some optionality on tire width.
