50mm backspacing

[kevinatfms]

will an 18x10 wheel with a 50mm backspacing fit the front of our cars?​

anyone? i know an 18x10 in 45mm backspacing will, but im unsure if the 5mm will make too much of a difference

I've seen some 20x10 Saleen wheels on the front, and they have a 50mm backspace. That's as close as I can get for you.

you sure they were a 50mm backspacing? i looked all over there site and it says 20x10 is the 45mm offset?

I've only got about 6 sets of the 20's and 19's - yes they are 50 for a 10". Stock fronts are 30 for the 9" wheels. The 'standard' rear wheel was a 9" with a 40 (I think).

The reproduction wheels are different offsets, and those might be 45's.

looking at the wheels while on the car with no tires i know that the rear will fit but i dont know about the front....im doing to upload pics, tell me what size tire i should go with on the front...there is very little room for sidewall bulge...
