17x11 18x11 best backspace?
Whats the best backspacing to run a 17 or 18x11 on a 3rd gen nova? Been searching a lot cant find much. Axle will be cut custom to fit any wheel I want so that isnt an issue.

Unfortunately without knowing either the back spacing OR the rear end width it's impossible to give a reasonable answer, it's like trying to answer the equation X=X what is X ?
The other thing is why change the rear end width from stock?https://www.protouringf-body.com "doing what they say can't be done"

Because Im getting a new Ford 9" so it can be narrowed if I want. I ended up ordering with a 6 inch BS. Hopefully it looks good. Getting minitubs to fit them

Can you fit an 11” wheel under a stock Nova? You can’t on a first gen Camaro….
Sounds like you need a wheel fit tool imho…

You're right. I don't think you can get an 11" wide wheel in there without a mini tub a matter what the backspace is. Originally Posted by dhutton
