Need advice on my front wheel backspacing on my 69?
Hey guys I am looking to order Billet street lites for my 69 and not sure about which backspaceing to get. Im currently running 15x5 with 3 1/2in backspaceing draglite. They dont make them in this size so its either 15x4 or 15x6. Im looking to keep the same look and im running 26x7.50 sportsman pros. So any insight would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few pics of my ride..

Re: Need advice on my front wheel backspacing on my 69?
I dunno, but you should do something about that smoke coming out the back. Is it using a lot of oil?
Oh - wait! That's your TIRES!

 !!!!!! Since you are using M/T 26.0"x 7.50" front tires......I would find out if that size tire width would even be recommended by M/T for a 4" wide rim.David F.

I would go with 4", but that'sj ust my preference, I like the narrow look. I run 3.5's, but with the size of your rear tires just about anything is going to look narrow up front.

Chris,
I sent you a PM. I am running the 15x4 with a 1.625 back spacing. But I also have the 1" narrow A-Arms from Heidts.
