Wheel Backspacing
Now I read Dodgestang's chart and my plan for the new wheels are 15 or 16 inch by 7 in front and 8 in back. The backspacing for the rears would be the 4.5" but my question is with the front. The chart says 4.25" but I plan on using the Fatman Fab kit and convert the front to disc brakes, no lowering. I called fatman and they said using the spindles from a '94-'04 will not change the location of the spindle. Also it will change to coilover. Does anybody by chance know if this will affect my backspacing? Even if I lowered the front an inch will it affect the backspacing? Thanks for the help.

With that size tire I don't think you will run into any issues.
If you look on the chart we have people with coil overs and from a quick glance it appears they have not had any backspacing changing issues. As for wheel width for manual steering...hey I run a 240 40 17 on an 8 inch rim in the front, it can be a little heavy below 5 mph....but I never parallel park. I think you will be fine with a 7 inch rim and manual steering.
