Backspacing

ToySurf · Post by **ToySurf** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 7:10 pm

Ive got some 15x8 wheels at home. And i measured the backspacing from the center of the wheel, To the inside of the wheel. And it was 120mm are these wheels for solid axle or independent?

Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but by my calculations you've got a +19mm offset - pretty sure that's to suit independent.

I put them on a solid axle surf at work today. And they just clear the steering arm by about 8mm Would this create any problems?

I got +6 offset.
