Whats all this talk about Backspacing?
The ‘Back Space’ Measurement simply refers to the amount of space between the mounting surface and the top edge of your rim. The more backspacing you have, the less space there is between the wheel and the body. Having too large of a backspace may cause wheel/tire rubbing on your control arms, frame, or fender wells…which…from the sound of it…isn’t a good thing! On the other hand, too little backspace may lead to wheel bearing failure, handling issues, and debris being thrown from underneath the tires. All of this needs to be kept in mind when measuring and adjusting your wheels’ backspace.
