I'm curious what backspacing you guys use for Xx8 wheels? I'd like to rotate them for ease of maintenance, but I want them to be semi-tucked, like Sickness's and Crazy's car. I think Sickness was running 17x8 TT2's w/same backspacing, but he doesn't remember what it was. One of our cars (not mine, otherwise I'd get different widths) is going to get the TT2 17x8 w/275/40/17 upgrade, and I know I can run 5.5" bs in back, but what backspacing can I run up front? The front b.s. is what I'll use for all four wheels so I can rotate them.

Sickness91Z28's car from his sig:


CrazyHawaiian's Z:

 

I ran 17x8 Boyd's with 4.5 inch backspacing all around. They fit like gloves with no rubbing. BTW, the tires were 245/45.

 

Ok good, that's what I was thinking. I'll try those and see what happens.

 

Those 18x8's in that pic have a 4.5" backspacing too. Sits a bit inset, not flush with the fender, but also gives more room to lower the car without running into problems with rubbing (though tire size is what really matters as far as rubbing problems). Not sure exactly how low my front is, but its tucking.

EDIT: Here's a picture.
