I dont know as much about htis as many of you guys, so heres the question. I have been looking around at some simple low cost wheels for my 89, and I have heard the our cars are 4.75" up front and 5.25" out back for backspace, Now I have been looking at some american racing wheels and is confused now about the backspace. They ar listed at like 3.75 and 4" backspace, would a spacer be needed, because it seems like with less backspace means less wheel would be setting inward to hit anything, plus I had some american racing wheels on my old 83 t/a I had about 10 years ago, and dont remember having to do anything other than just bolt them on. Anyone please clear this up for me, so i at least know if I should be looking at other wheels and backspaces. Thanx alot in advance for any help you give.

Less bs means they would be further out, not in. You might only need spacers if they were sitting further in, like with MORE bs.

 

thanx, thats what I was thinking, usually I wouldnt have needed to ask that question, but for some reason today, my brain is just not focusing enough to bother to think it through
