Budd Wheel backspacing

Posted by Will (in MI) on Tuesday, July 26, 2005 at 9:40PM :

OK, with out a tire dismounted it's hard to measure the stock 900x16 Budd Wheel backspacing. My brother measured one of the ones they have there and from where the tire bead meets the wheel it's 7".

Do any of you know what the correct backspacing is on the stock 16 x 6.5 Budd wheels is?

Oh, the M's V-8 is at the machine shop, and I've found a shop to sandblast the frame, axles, springs (rolling chassis) and misc. cross members, and parts for $250. I have the POR-a5 and as soon as I get the Power Steering bracket and get it fitted the blasting and painting will begin.

Thanks,
Will
