At least 6.5 inches of backspacing and a great big Hammer!

At least 6.5 inches of backspacing and a great big Hammer! I was thinking the same thing. Since Ford's 9.5" wide wheel has like 6.12" of backspace I don't know how much is left on the outer edge against the lip of the wheel opening. I can make it simple for ya tho :D put the ass end up...take a tire off and measure the bitch!! There's yer "Easy" button
