New rims are here ! Im curious to what backspace guys are running up front.. The back space i ordered are virtually flat ,, I did use same measurements from my last set of rims ,, they work fine but the look is mmmmmmm:shakehead:

I ordered my fronts with 4.75 b/s 245/40/18 and there virtually flat (no dish),, not diggin the look to much. I have speedtech front upper and lower A arms with coilovers..

could i have gotten more dish up front?

what are others running?

I assume you have an 8.0" wide wheel?

What brake package and hubs are you using?

What wheels?

Sounds like they made them with a thick pad. To clear the calipers.

How much room is there between the wheel and the caliper?

I agree, I'm not a fan of that look.

Mark , i havnt fitted the fronts up yet as im working on a 4 link rite now..
after some research im seeing that the 'tru turn' system from ride tech seems to offer an alternative,,..the only thing im not a fan of is the 2 inch drop spindles you must run,,, dosnt that move the lower A arm much closer to the road? i really need to get some dish up front... What wheels?

I guess I'm out numbered here but I don't like deep dish rims. It puts a bunch of extra load on the lip of the rim for no good reason. Depending on the offset it will force a compromise on scrub radius and puts additional bending stress on the bearings.

Yeah your front Fikse wheels with those specs will not have a big lip on them. It's just the way they are. Look at mine they are the same.
