Mechanical Sympathy Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 ((7"x25.4)/2)+20mm=108.9mm backspace. I'd suggest this would be very close to rubbing your front strut and/or rear spring, though over stretched tyres may help with clearance. I prefer a buldge in my sidewall! Jack your car up, take off the wheel and use a right angle to measure the distance from the face of your drum/hub your leafspring/strut to find your maximum backspace. Working backwards substitute values into the above formula to find what works, while also considering tyre width i.e a 205 wide tyre actually makes your wheels ~8" wide. Not a problem for over-stretchers though. I have given no consideration to fender clearances. Measure from your hub/drum outwards to the guard and add that value to your max backspace to give your max rim/tyre width. No doubt today someone will post a pic of a KE20 with a known offset so you can judge. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Remember that the width of the wheel is measured to the inner part of the bead. So add an extra 10mm-ish to the back space. Edited January 1, 2014 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
