    You can calculate backspace, offset, rim width, etc., with a simple jig and some carefull measurements.

    Here's one way.

    No worries for me, though. My '34 will fit ANY size whee.

    My friend, who has built cars in previous years, said to remove the body and focus on redoing the chassis (new bushings, factory springs, brakes, lines, etc). Get it to a rolling chassis, put a new gas tank and fuel lines in, then re-do the engine, trans, driveshaft. After that, put body back on and worry about look/fit of tires/wheels then. If I need more drop, cure it then. And then move onto floor pans/body work, electrical.

    Thoughts?
