Need a link for technical info
Hi all,
I have taken my 58 Chev to the technical division of the licensing centre in Western Australia for an inspection. Down here if you modify a vehicle it has to be engineered and approved. They have failed the car because of the rear wheels. I have fitted 17x10 Boyds with a 3 inch backspace (that is not a typing error, it is a 3 inch backspace!!). I wanted the deepest dish I could fit. The problem is they believe that the load on the bearings is now too great. I have also fitted late model disc brakes with tapered roller bearings.
Anyway, I was hoping that someone might know of a site that has a way of calculating how much loading the wheels are putting on the bearings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are some pics of the wheels on my website.
Cheers!!
