Title: Wheel back space question.... Post by: leec on February 21, 2013, 20:40:27 pm Having a dumb moment...
Seen a pair of cheap wheels for sale. They are everything I need in terms of style/width and diameter but the back space is 4 inch, I was after around 3.25 inch. Am I right in thinking a 0.75 inch spacer with the 4 inch back space wheel would work out the same as 3.25? Lee Title: Re: Wheel back space question....

yes,is the outer side ok if you add the 3/4 inch to it? and I personally wouldn't run a 3/4 spacer on a race car,and I am not sure I would use "cheap wheels" on it either :o cheers richie Title: Re: Wheel back space question....

I've got a 5 inch narrowed rear axle each side on a notch, so was after some wheels to use as mock up. I know Ron Lummus recommends a 3-3.5 inch backspace wheel.
