Rims
Hi Guys, I know my rims are 14" x 6" with the 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern. How do you measure the backspacing ? From inside to rim, or inside to the outside of the tire ? My car is a 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 Thank you inadvance,Pat-New York.

Re: Rims
hey, im going to horn in on this conversation and tell something you probably already know, but the less back spacing the farther the wheels will stick out from the drum, if you want to fill up the wheel well thats the way to go, on the other hand the more back space the farther the tire will be inside the wheel well, on after market wheels you can get almost any back spacing you want
