where to get wheels with low backspacing?
I have a 79' J20 for a mud truck, and I have some 35x14.5x16 boggers that are really close to the springs on my 16x8" wheels. I would like to get at least 10" wheels or maybe even 12's that will have little enough backspacing to get me away from the springs. I searched but didn't run across anything that helped. Anyone know of a place to get some?
I am also looking for some headers that stick up out of the hood. Any Ideas?
Thanks
Frank

ntw will custom make steel wheels to whatever you want. i had my rims made with 2" of backspacing for $63 a rim. they drilled the hole farther back as well. the rim size are 15x12

You may not have to go custom, my Bart Super Truckers are 2.5" backspacing... they are 14"s wide so I'm not sure what bs is available for narrower rims. Pretty sure that Summit Racing has 'em.
