well i'm on my way to getting new wheels for my new BFG A/T's 235's. i love the back spacing on the british Escudo featured on the suspension page of RRO
http://www.rocky-road.com/kicksus.html.
(http://www.rocky-road.com/media/britishescudo.jpg)
what back space would you say he's got on there. or rather what's a good backspace for 235/75/r15 with the RRO 4.5 inch lift?
-
3.5"
Would be perfect.
Actually, I have no clue, I just enjoy posting ;D

You guys make it sound like being a zookaholic and a zukiworld junkie are bad things... ;D

i took my zukiholic habit straight to the brewery....hence why i now work for American Suzuki.
however nobody knows much about non-factory specs....like different backspacing.

I'd say an inch further out would be ideal for ya... stock backspacing is 4.5", I think... Should keep ya from rubbing on the frame at full lock.

I may know the owner of that car. There aren't many Escudos over here so a clean one with OME suspension is going to be pretty rare. I recognise the wheel style, it was sold as an option by Suzuki, but they were offered in 3 different widths, I have the 8" rims and they need extended arches so those must be narrower. I shall make enquiries.
-
3.5 should look good, I have 4" on a
set of 8" Rock Crawlers, I prefure a set
of narrower rims, so I would put the 235
on the stock rims, I'm going to put 33-12.5
on a set of 7" with a 3.5 BS as soon as I can
afford to drop another $700 on tires and wheels

:o getting rid of the LTB's? Are they pretty much shot, or what?
-
No, Street tires ;D
LTBs are wearing in front
Backs are good, and I have a set
of 30" street tires on the stock rims
but the RPM is so high I don't like it,
so I want a set of 33 Radial all terain
tires for street driving.

Ah. Gotcha.
I did hear about these new all-terrain tires called Super Swamper Boggers... but they're not radials, though ;)

Boggers are Axle Breakers,
I think if I did lots of mud or
lots of sand I would go Boggers,
but for all around terain Swampers
kick Butt.
Pep Boy's has a 33" 12.5 Dakota
Radial, looks good, works well and
they are less than $100 each, which
is just about right for me, unless I go
down to the used tire shop and get
another space saver 33 12.5 SSR
for a stock rim ;)

i guess i forgot to ask, does the Escudo pictured have 235's or 30's? they look thin as heck so i assumed 235. they don't look thick enough to be any bigger.

From the owner (whose other car is a 2.5V6 powered Vit (old shape) :
Sorry only just caught up with the thread now, been busy today, anyway the
wheels are 7" X 15" with a -6mm offset, plus 30 mm wheel spacers. Tyres are
General Grabber AT 30,9.50r15.
There ya go.
PS the rims are Yank, not Suki
Its a Road only car,

Boggers are Axle Breakers
Why didn't you say that before I bought mine. My axles and Boggers have never got along.

Just look at those things, they
look like they are axle hungry,
all those wide tread lugs are
a street legal Paddle Tire.

I am running a 31x10.50 with 2.75 backspacing and I get no rubbing at full lock. I had to get flares though cause I got pulled over....
