Reply to "18x12 narrow body backspace?"

gen2pantera,

I'm concerned that 7 5/8" BS is too much for a 12" wide wheel. Remember, my 7 5/8" BS is effectively 7 1/4" BS because of my 3/8" thick brake rotor hats. I also had to modify my suspension to prevent rubbing on the inside sidewall of the tire. In essence, you have 3/8" more BS than I do, with a 1/2" narrower rim. Because your rim is narrower than mine, you'll have more sidewall "bulge" to deal with. If I were you, I'd have ordered 12" wide rear wheels with 7" or 7 1/4" (maximum) BS. If you're going to mount your brake hats outboard, you're probably OK, but if not, I'm worried your BS is too much. I hope you're not offended by my opinion. I'm just trying to help.
