Title: Oval: backspacing for new rear wheels? Post by: nigelg65 on July 16, 2008, 13:55:55 pm I have a 1956 Oval running CSP disc brakes 5x130mm. I have found some new wheels for it - 15x7in with a backspacing of 3.75in. I want to put them on the back but don't know if that is enough backspacing. Will they fit? If not what is the minimum backspacing on the rear of an Oval, running my brakes, for a 7in wheel?
