Compomotive on E.M.......

[Melzer]

Looking for opinions on changing backspacing/offset on (rear) Compomotive pin drive wheels mounted on an Everett-Morrison.

I'm trying to get the rear wheels under the flares a bit more so that the rear can be lowered over the tires to sit (squat) correctly.
I have talked to a Compomotive rep and he indicated that the wheel can be narrowed by 1/2" increments and backspacing can be shifted by the same increments.

The rep was very helpful and said that I could send my wheels to him and they could make the necessary modifications for a very reasonable fee. The catch is this, it's my call to make regarding the amount of backspacing/offset to be made. I don't want to go too far inward with the wheel yet need to get the tires under the body enough to accomplish the end result.

My concern is with the tire or wheel inner surface contacting anything after shifting the backspacing inward. Are there any guys out there who have done this? Running a 295 tire with Jag XKE rear, inboard brakes.

Thanks in advance........Mel
