Re: TOY: Wheel Backspacing

[langehen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Lance Langehennig)]

Thanks to all who replied, when I get a chance I'll measure the silver 
wheels to verify, I also have one stock white rim (no pattern) I'll check 
it too.
But what I gather is, 3.5" backspacing is a good choice for the narrow tires.
Thanks,
Lance L.
