 Topic: wheel back spacing for 71-74 javelinPosted: Apr/27/2012 at 6:04pm |

I would like to put min of 9" wide rims on my javelin does any one know what back spacing/rim offset I need for the rims on front and back wheels so the tires don't hit on the body and wheel wells? I have the Larry M road racing sway bar kit on my car and he recomends use of 9" wide tires. He has sold a number of these kits over the years just wondering what other people have used for rim and tires sizes on the 71-74 javelin?

You dont need a 9" wheel to run a 9" tire. I think Tire Rack list wheel sizes for tires.
With that you could run a 8" wheel with a 9" tire and thinking a 8" wheel would be easier to get as I have not heard of 9" as a common size.

I have a set of polished torque thrusts for sale i just took off my 73 Javelin. 16x7 in front with 235/60s and 16x8 in back with 255/50's. Front tires are almost new. Back tires are really bald. Not sure why the back ones always wear out faster. Priced very reasonably. PM me if your interested.

I'm running 8"X 15" on the front of my 73 Javelin with a 4.5" backspace and Larry's bar kit with no issues. I have 235/60 tires on them.
