    Doo Wop Where were you in '62?

    5" of Backspacing on an 8" rim is what you need.

    with a 15" wheel you have to be careful as it will hit the lower shock bolt with anything more then 5.25" of backspacing.

    10-4 guys...I want to put as wide/tall a wheel as possible. What would it take to get a 15x10 wheel on with regards to backspacing? I had serious traction problems before and I am upgrading from iron stage 1 ported heads to ported stage-2's..the engine will be making more power. Had/have a 29" tall tires now but they are gone so to speak. Thanks in advance
