Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
they will fit and turn really well on the front, but they will look too far in on the back.
mine are 8 in front with 4 inch backspace and 9 in back with 3.5 backspace. the way backspace and width works, the rears are 1.5" further out toward the fender, an 8 inch wheel is 9 inches wide lip to lip, 4 inch backspace means 5 inch frontspace (hub mounting surface out to street side of rim), a 9 inch wide wheel is 10 inches wide lip to lip, 3.5 backspace means 6.5 frontspace. the fronts turn lock to lock with no rubbing, if I do it again I will probably go 3.5 backspace front and 3 backspace rear.
