Default Backspace question

These Cragars have 4.5" backspacing and are very very deepdish-like. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

http://customwheelsmarket.com/cwm-top-1119-78610c.html
These wheels also say 4.5" backspacing but do not have the deepdish appearance. How would the backspacing be the same?


Thanks

The backspacing on the Cragars is extreme,expect it to look rather odd sticking out of the wheel wells.The stock wheels have a backspacing of 6.295 backspacing and an offset of 45mm.You should try and match the Cragars backspacing with your curent application.Cragar makes a new style SS series 610 for the S-197 Mustangs.

The mounting pad is thicker.

Make sure you have the right back backspacing or it will rub on your brake caliper!
