ok for some reason ive always though backspacing to be the distance from the mounting surface
to where the edge of the wheel ends

i just made this pic i dont know if you'll understand it

but tell me if im up my ***



1) mounting surface
2)backspacing measurement

the arrow should be pointing to the inside of the mounting surface

Primetime- FMPP kit M-2300-k. It's 5 lug, 4 wheel big brake disk kit. I found a used one with 15k miles on ebay for $600+shipping and it's sitting near my bed waiting for installation heheahaaha! The only problem is that the guy swore it was the full kit and ripped me off 2 proportioning valves. He swears the stocker will work ugh, I'm pretty pissed about that.

Blacksnake- that blows chunks. I guess I can always get the pipes bent a little out of the way, right?

One more thing primetime- what size wheels and tires do u have?
