I don't know what thread to put this in, but I need some help.
I need to find the correct backset for new rims I wanting to buy. This is for open wheel 1931 Ford Model A car. There is no fenders, so were talking side of the car to side of the car on the Ford Model A.
The Body of the car is 56.5 inches wide.
My Ford 9 inch rear end is 65.25 inches or sixty five and a quarter.
8.75 divided by 2 equals 4.375 inches so
4.375 inches of the Ford 9 inch sticking out both sides of the body
The tire I'm running on the rear is 285/70/R15
specks for that tire is...
30.75 Tall
8.6 inch Tread
11.5 Section
R15 inch rim
I don't know crap about figuring this. I wouldn't mind it being an inch and half or 1.5 inches off the body or more if its needed.
Can someone please tell me exactly what my rim's backset is to ask for when I buy my rims, I clueless.
Thanks for any help,
Micah
