Reply to "Kodiak Wheel Deal Is Happening at 25% Off"

I can't get my email to work maybe someone can copy and email to all the buyers

I am ordering 17"X8" front with a 5" backspace ( measured from axle flange flat area to the inside lip where the tire seats just like shown on Kodiak worksheet ) add .25" to outside of lip as shown

I am ordering 18"X11" for the rear with a 6" backspace ( measured from axle flange flat area to the inside lip where the tire seats just like shown on Kodiak worksheet) add .25" to outside of lip as shown. I'm only ordering 18" so I can run a special race DOT tire that is sticky otherwise I would stay with 17" all the way around.

A little history, I have had two Panteras both with Hall Pantera wheels 17" X 8" 235/40/17 and 17" X 11" 335/35/17 I think the Hall wheels look great on stock body cars. My first car was lowered and had the fender lips rolled up. The only tire rub I ever had was inside driver side by the footwell on sharp left turn during parking not what I consider a problem and this car was 1973 Pantera open track driven at Vegas it also had Wilwood brakes and aluminum adjustable A arms

My current car is a 71 Pantera all stock, fenders lips are not rolled and stock height.
I have not driven car much but doesn't appear to be any rubbing issues.
I took the Hall Pantera wheels off this car for my off set measurements.
They should be the same as my previous white Pantera

I would not go more than a 6" off set on the rear, see this post on PI board of my rear wheel

I removed my Hall wheels from my 71 Pantera and the above backspacing was measured according to the Kodiak worksheet

Hope this helps
