Well that's weird. Doug Pearce should know and so should Warwick.

When Warwick gave you those front space measurement, he would have had to give you the rim sizes as well. As all that changes obviously as the rim size is changed.

Also keep in mind that when talking backspace or front space, that rims are actually measured from inside to outside tyre bead. So if you measure them from inside edge to outside edge they are 1" wider. So if Warwick spec'd for 8" front & 9.5" rear, he would have used 9" front rim measurement & 10.5" rear rim measurement. You need to add 1" to you wheel width measurements if using backspace or front space. Does that make sense.
