Wheel sizes

I am building an RF with Gulf flares. I am beginning to think about wheels. I have been looking at all the posts I could find on sizes. It seems that 17" give you the most options for tires (although not looking too stock). Also seems that 9"-10" wide fronts and 12" wide rears will be OK. My question is: Does anyone know the backspacing for the RF suspension?? It is probably out there somewhere, but I was unable to find it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Thanks.
 
You need to talk with Robert at RF about this. (If he doesn’t see this thread, try posting in the RF mfgs. Section). I think you may not be able to go that wide in front. Also, you may not want to. 8" to 8½" may be about all you can do and should give a reasonably good balance, although you may need to add a rear anti-sway bar. (8" – 12” would be similar to the size differential on the real Gulf cars).
