Definition of Backspacing (Dually Conversion)
Hey guys, I have an idea for my senior project, but I need a little more info to draw up some sketches. I'm in my senior year of a machining course. I want to make a dual wheel conversion kit for my ranger. I know some people think that dual wheels on a ranger is pointless and dumb, which it is, I completely agree, but I like the look and I think it would be cool.
What I need to know is what exactly backspacing means, is it how far the center of the wheel (where the lugs go through) is back from the front lip of the rim. Or is it from the back lip of the rim? I also need to know the backspacing of a stock ranger 15/7.5" aluminum wheel. Thanks.
