RE: Backspacing

[Jeff Adams <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for info guys, I didn't really think 10" would clear. Right now 
the car has 8.5" vintage Torquethrusts on it, but the offset is so far 
to the outside that I've only got about a quarter inch clearance and I 
have to keep the air shocks up above level to keep the tires from 
rubbing. Jeg's has several wheels under $100 each and some are available 
in 10" widths with 6.5" backspacing. I spose those won't clear, either. 
I live close to both Jegs stores so I can pick them up and save the 
shipping. If anybody else wants to order some form Jegs and is going to 
the Nats next month let me know and I can pick them up and bring them to 
you to save the shipping.
