Nova backspacing with Speedtech subframe?
 

Just wondering if anyone else has put a Speedtech subframe into a nova yet and what they found to be good backspacing. I have the New Gen Splliters with that are 8" wide with 4.75" backspacing, which I was told should be good with this subframe. I started hanging the sheetmetal today and found that the wheels are going to rub. I have a ton of room to move inward so that's what I might have to do. I'm also running Wilwood 12.19" brakes on the front. Anyone have any suggestions on how I could move the wheels in or would I be better off getting different backspacing? I've attached some pics also to show the issue. And this is in no way to call out Speedtech or Driver's Inc, I'm just looking to see if there are any other set ups out there yet as I haven't seen any other novas with this subframe. Thanks in advance.


Lot of room inside

From speed techs website. Being that you have an 8 inch wide wheel it would be different but your 4.something seems pretty far off.
Good luck :thumbsup: Love the project

Thanks Ken. Well I found out that the rims can be sent back to Driver's Inc and the backspacing can be changed. Now that I now how this problem will be fixed, need to figure out the proper bs for them.

Damn buddy you got alot of room you gonna upgrade get a little wider up front you are gonna have to change the BS anyway might as well upgrade

Trust me when I put the rims on and saw the room I still had....part of me really wished I went wider. The only think is I do want to run inner fenders so will have to either modify a set or figure something else out.

Anvil has some new fenders out just for this take a look at there site
