So in simple math, if you run a 8" wheel, you need a 4.75 to 5.00 backspace. If you run a 8.5" wheel, you need a 5.25 to 5.5 backspace. If you only want to go straight and not turn, usinf a 9.5 wheel, you would need a 6.25 to 6.5 backspace.

Well how come this 68 uses a 9.5" wheel with 275s up front with no issues? Carl C's website has been referenced many times on here and on pro-touring forum everytime someone asks or talks about stuffing a 275 up front. And judging from his pics, it tucks under the front fender pretty nicely and isn't sticking out. Can you explain this, and why I am any different? Thanks.

(go about 3/4 the way down the page to see "How to Swallow 275s on all 4 corners")
