What is the most back spacing you can fit in the front and the rear on a STOCK 84 xj6? I need to know for ordering wheels. I have about a 2 1/4 inch fender flare in the rear now so Id like to know how wide of a wheel i can fit under it.

 

i want to run these wheels in the back and a 8 inch of the same in the front. would 5 inch backspacing be too much?

I've just bought a set of 7" x 15" chrome smoothies for mine. I can't remember what the back spacing is on these but will dig out the paperwork and let you know.
The rear is a little bit closer to the arch than the fronts. I know of a S3 that has 8" x 15" in the same wheel but he told me he had to do a lot of arch work to get 8's to fit

 

Right, i've dug my paperwork out and on my 7" x 15" Cragar chrome smoothies the back space is 4 & 1/8" (104.78mm) and the front space is 3 & 7/8" (98.43mm)


Here's a few mock up pictures - ignore the tyres though as they were too low a profile

 

Nice wheels, where did you get them from and did you modify your arches to fit them?

 

I got them from a bloke called Tim at Raceways in Donnington. Very helpful chap indeed !
