What size and back spacing will I need to clear Baer's?
I'm priming my frame this Mon/Tue and hope to start assembling the front suspension on Tuesday. Problem is, I have a Fatman Fab front end kit and got some Baer's to go with it. I need to hit the salvage yard this week as I had earlier converted to 5 on 5. Now I'll have 5 on 4 3/4. I would like to pick up something from the yard to make the frame mobile but what will I need to clear the Baer's (diameter and backspacing)? I have a buddy who has a set of old 15" Pontiac wheels but I don't think they will clear the caliper. Or will they? Again I'm just looking to get something to clear the brakes so I can get the fame off the jackstands and would like to start looking prior to getting the front end together. TIA.

13" baers" I'd think you'll need a 17" wheel, although some special 16" wheels will clear.

I was afraid someone was going to say that. Thanks Ralph.
