back spacing on a 12 rim What would the back spacing need to be on a 12 rim . The rear end is narrowed 3.5 inches on each side. The car is also mini-tubbed. I was thinking a 12 inch wheel would need a 6 inch back spacing. Just wondering what others may think .
I can only relate my recent experience.
Bought 15x12 w/6" B/S. Mini tubbed. Narrowed 3". Didn't come close to fitting inside the fender well. No idea what type of tires you are going to be going with, but I decided to try the new M/T Drag Radials - 315x60x15. Put them on my 15x10 6 1/2" B/S. Fit perfect. Still not a able to lower it down a far as I expected, but the tires fill the fender well. God they look huge
Any way. Only way to find out for sure is buy a set of 15x12's. Don't mount the tires, but test fit the wheels after you have completed the install.
