Was just wondering if any of you are running a set of 10.5w's? I'm wondering how they hook up. I was also wondering what rim size and backspacing your running. I have a 2nd gen Trans Am and want to order a Fab 9 rearend and was trying to get a idea what size I would need to order. Trying not to sound lazy here lol.

A 12" rim would do best for your tire choice...as far as back spacing that will all depend on how wide u have the new rear end made, but if it were me I'd make the rear end as narrow as possible and use less back spacing on the rim.

That's what I was thinking, I was looking at making the rear in around 45"s.

I know that S&W Race cars told me if I ran 32x14's to run 14x15's with a 4.5-5.5" back spacing. What new car are you running?
