I'm running 18"x12 1/2" HRE's on the rear of my stock bodied Pantera with 7 5/8" backspacing. I do; however, have my brake rotors mounted on the outside of my hubs, which required an extra 3/8" of backspacing to compensate for the thickness of the rotors. I did have a slight rubbing problem at the rear (upper frame rail), due to too much wheel travel, which I solved by adding an extra bump rubber to each of my Koni shocks. Now it's perfect. Thanks to Dennis Quella for the extra bump rubber tip.
