5-pin KO wheels
I notice that Vintage lists two different backspacing options on their 5-pin wheels - 3.6" and 4". I found a reference of 3.5" backspace on the Trigo wheels so I'm assuming about 3-1/2 inches is what I need to work with the ERA suspension and adaptor knockoffs? The ERA manual is pretty clear on recommended backspacing for the 6-pin drive wheels but not on the 5-pin.
Since I'm building a street car version I don't really need 9-1/2 inch wheels in the rear (I know - I should be looking for some Sunburst wheels). I don't see any mention of either Trigo or Vintage making the SC wheel in something like a 8-1/2 inch for a bit less full-tire look in the rear. Has anyone else seen them produce something like this? Just thinking.
Thanks
Dan
