I purchased a 68 Camaro with Ridetech 4 link BUT it has the stock 60 inch width Currie 9 inch vs the preferred shorter one.

Can someone tell me what backspace I would need with a 12 inch wheel? Everything I see is with the 54 inch Currie.

I Dont have the car available to measure myself.

I am guessing somewhere around 8.75.

Thank you in advance.

all cars are different tho and I would confirm

A ten inch wheel with stock tubs would have 5.75” backspacing. So assuming 2” wider tubs, a 12 inch wheel would be at 7.75” backspacing. Would I order based on that, no I would not. I would measure it to confirm.

The above assumes no brake offset due to aftermarket brakes.

How much offset do aftermarket brakes require? I have Wilwoods.

It varies you will need to find out for your specific brakes.
