Backspacing on Notched Frame

[turboz4life]

Question about what backspacing to go with on a notched frame. I have 325/50/15 Nitto DRs to go on the car. Was just wondering what an ideal backspacing would be to fit this without rubbing the fenderwell, although I would have the lip rolled if needed. I was thinking a 15X10 rim with 5" but am not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Steve

Sorry, can't help, but looking to notch my frame in the future

I'm looking to have it done soon. I've done research here on the board and messaged knowledgeable people to find out that with the proper notch the 325s will fit, but not enough concrete information on which backspacing to use. Hence this thread.

Also if the type of wheel makes a difference I am hoping to use Centerline Revs.

My frame is notched and I have 15x10's on the rear with a 5inch backspace. I test fit the nitto's and they fit without touching the frame or the fender. Funny thing I ordered the Goodyear Eagle SS drag radials and they rub on the frame. I guess they have a wider contact patch then the nitto's in the same size. Hope that helps you.

This helps a great deal, thank you!

Yep, same thing here 5" rear spacing for a 10" wide wheel…

I have a 5.5bs wheel. How deep is your notch? Mine is almost to the inside of the frame rail.

This is a really great tool to verify exactly how much room you have: Percy's WheelRite

I run a 5.5 backspace with 10in wheels.

FWIW, my notch job by Cotton's removed about 1" of of frame rail.
