Nova back spacing??

[jasonsnova]

OK so because of some other stuff that came up I got some cheap wheels(c7 corvette stingray 18x8.5 front & 18x10.5 rear) for my 71 nova and am gonna have to run adapters to make them work. just wondering what everyone is running for offsets/backspacing? the front wheels have 6.95" back spacing and the rears have a 7.95" back spacing
the car has a full ridetech stage 2 front suspension and tru turn steering & wildwood fornt discs which according to the direction push the wheels out .38"(which im not sure if its one side or overall track width??), the rear is a a stock width 9" with wildwood discs and dse mini tubs
rear end/suspension and sub goes back in car hopefully next week when I take it off the rotisserie. I can take better measurements then....

sounds like you need 2'' adapters all around maybe more in the rear. jack the car up and take the front wheel off then lower it enough so you can space the wheel out on the ground to where you want it then measure the distance between the hub and back of the wheel where it mounts to the hub. Should be somewhere around 2 inches. Then do the same for the rear.
