Wheel Backspacing and Offset Info

[jared.landis]

im sure i could just ask but then i wouldnt learn anything.

i am trying to figure how much wheel and tire i can stuff on a 97 swb with a 4/6 drop.

in order to figure this i would need to mearsure the wheel well width, then find the mounting surface line (the mounting surface of the drum/rotor) within that width. then just use the information here and use a little math and i should come up with something pretty close right?

I like the way you think!
Here's a good thread:

I made a tool similar to this.
But a tape measure and a straight edge will do the same thing,...
