I looked at the nn34 rims they only have 1" less backspace.

I don't know what he did or what wheels he used. He is a member on this site but, not been logged on in a couple years. The tires were 395's as you guessed.

Quite a bit of M34 wheel info in this thread.

Heres a question if I flipped the hubs back what is the back spacing how far from the frame? I have 9 1/2" currently and I know those 395s have less than that being 15" wide so how much backspace with stock rims is he getting?

I saw that thread you posted but I dont think it would work without cutting the fenders still.

Sorry forgot to add if his hubs were flipped his backspace would be alot less than mine.

I am not worried at this point with wheel tracking just backspacing until I can afford new rims with a better offset.

This is an interesting problem. My buddies a3 bobber with a m105a2 bed and a3 wheels has just enough offset to clear the fender wells. There's maybe 2 or 3 inches of clearance behind the tires. He is running 14.00r20 tires.

Even with the correct offset I feel you may have to tub the fenders a bit still. Probably depends on the wheels you choose. Just be prepared for the worst case.

I just spoke with gimpyrobb on the phone he said to flip the rim and leave the hubs flipped and go from there.

Ok guys I solved my offset problem I ll have to flip my hubs back to stock. I flipped the rim first to see what I had and WOW went from 9 1/2" to a whopping 22 1/2" so I measured the hub where the rim would rest stock 5 1/2" roughly then subtracted it from 22 1/2" and that put me at 17" then subtracted 9 1/2" I end up with 7 1/2" more back space.So no cutting needed.

These are my wheels. 5in backspacing I believe they came from cc Equiptment. No problems on lifted bobbed deuce with 16.00's. My bed is different but I guess what I'm getting at is these wheels move the tires out.

I ll have pics today got 1 side flipped back last night 17 1/2" from frame. what is your measurement from the frame to back of tire?
