Find the lowest common denominator
* 1/2 by 8
= 8/16
Now you can add them both together since you have the same denominator
9/16 + 8/16 =
9+8 = 17
17/16 = 1 1/16

so your 1inch and a 1/16 too wide on your wheel and brake selection, on your car with the added brake dimension you stated I would have recommended about a 6.00 back space


lets use a 10 inch rim for example
5.25 back space would stick OUTWARD .500 thousands (1/2 inch) more than a 5.75 back space



hope this helps
