back spacing on Wheel Vintique steel rims
I am building a full fendered Model A car. the nine inch has been narrowed to 55 inches. I want to run 8 inch wide rims on the back. Does 3 1/2 inches sound right for the back spacing. I really want the tires to fit under the fenders, not stick out. It's a roadster, could I run 9 inch rims with 4 1/2 inch back spacing?

Question along same line for a highboy with no fenders. How do you determine the cross section width or tire bulge of a mounted tire? trying to get to about 1 or 1 1/4" from body. Thinking of buying 8" or 8 1/2"wide 15" wheels and already have a couple of NOS LR60-15 Goodyears. How do you determine the cross section width?
around too long to not know this but don't.
