Default Backspace question

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

These wheels also say 4.5" backspacing but do not have the deepdish appearance. How would the backspacing be the same?


Thanks

Default RE: Backspace question

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!
