((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.

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.
