I'm getting ready to purchase my front rims.... Which look better or fit better, the 1 3/4 backspacing or 2.25 backspacing?

I'd say the 2.25" b.s....they tuck in better....especially with your strange brakes.

Thanks Jeff..... agree...

Rob and Timido both said the same also.... Looks like it will be the 2.25.

I have Aerospace brakes and they say to run a 2.25 backspacing. Ide say probably the same with strange????

Thats what I'm going to do. I know the strange hubs space things out 3/8 of an inch or so. I guess this will keep the wheels from sticking out too far.
