Killer's Wheels

[69autoXr]

Hey Chris,
What backspacing did you get for Killer's wheels? For my '69, I was thinking about some 17x12's for the rear and 17x11 for the front, with 4.5" backspacing for the rear and 4 in the front. I don't have offset trailing arms. recall that I am installing L-88 flares front and rear, and I would like the edge of the tire to just about line up with the edge of the flares.

Thanks

I am running 4.5" in the front and 5" rear. The fronts are 9.5" wide and rears are 12".

Get with Lynn or Dave at www.hvydeez.com to get all the run down on moving the back spacing in or out for the ultimate look.

I think you are on the right track. To tell you the truth, I don't think my offset trailing arms are doing that much for me. For the most part it moves the Ebrake cable well out of the way. I could have gone to 6" backspacing on a 19" rim to clear the spring bolt and go deeper, but I did not like the tire height options in the Michilen for a 19" rim.
