Like what size rim do I have to run in order to get an 8" wide rim with 5" backspace


I'm aware of the ackerman but it would seem that you could still move it in a little without destroying your ackerman but I'm no expert. Now the drop spindles have a huge problem with backspacing, it would be nice if the manufacturers would actually list the rim and backspacing that will fit there particular spindles instead of hiding it and telling people it's up to them to figure it out. Another wards, buy and just deal with what you get. I want to make this clear I am in no way slamming lhkustoms. I think there spindles are top notch, as is the rest of there products. Again it would just be nice to have a manufacturer step up and be honest. I personally, really don't believe it when the manufacturers tell people that they have no idea what will work on there product. Speaking entirely about the drop spindles. I personally have talked to Fatman and Heidts, both claim that they have no idea how much back spacing can be used on there spindles and both had no interest in finding out the answer. Neither would bolt on a steering arm and give me a measurement.
