wheel backspacing

<< < (2/2)

225digger:
watch your back spacing and wheel diameter, some wheels with deep back spacing you cant use drag brakes

running a shallow wheel will mean a shorter axle, which means less weight {if no one mentioned it}

some guys dont like them but many use a spacer if its alittle to close for comfort.

wideopen231:
yea shorter axle and shorter housing all mean less weight and the reason I have spacers. Some call it greedy I call it getting all I can.

Does the one inch tire bulge seem like the right amount ?

That really depends on wheel vs tire width, tire size and construction etc but is usually pretty close.

I too like about 1/2" - 1".  Mine have only kissed a couple times (when it shakes super hard).
