Re: [Chevelle-List] 17" Wheels

I'm sure someone on the list will post a nice picture to show how backspacing is measured.  Basically, it's the distance from the mounting face of the wheel to the inside edge of the wheel.  If you're planning on running a 10" wide wheel, I can tell you that 5.5" of backspacing (the same thing I'm running on my '71) will fit very well.   Galen ----- Original Message ----- From: Lojac To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 5:51 PM Subject: [Chevelle-List] 17" Wheels What exactly is backspacing?  What type of backspacing am I going to need to get these 275/40R17 under the rear on my 69 Chevelle?  What is the bolt pattern for the 69 Chevelle?   Thanks, Lojac
