Front wheel with more than 2 1/4" backspace
I am using a 26" front tire due to inner fender wheel clearance on my 1980 Camaro. The wheel is 15 x 3 1/2" with a 1 3/4" backspace. I see wheels with 2 1/4" backspace but I don't think that is enough. Does anyone know of a 15 x 3 1/2" wheel with more than 2 1/4" backspace? I hate the BMFH.
thanks, Ray

However, make sure you will have enough clearance for the brake caliper. |

Also check out Holeshot wheels. I think they make 1 front wheel with up to 2 and 7/8 offset . Probably a 15x4 though

Re: Front wheel with more than 2 1/4" backspace
SSDiv6 (I wish I knew your name) thanks for the tip. I will get in contact with them.
Jeff you are right Holshot makes a bigger backspace but the wheel is wider. I am trying to move the wheel towards the motor to get more clearance with the inner fender well. So a wider wheel with bigger backspace doesn' t help my problem. thank you for the help. Ray

 If you call Bogart, try to reach Ricky and explain the situation and let him know the type of front brakes you are using. He is a wealth of knowledge and information as regards to drag racing wheels. Last edited by SSDiv6; 11-08-2021 at 03:08 PM. |
