Axle width

[matchan420]

Going to widen the 40 a bit. I am thinking of running an fj80 rear axle and a custom front axle. I have rims that are 4.75 backspacing and 0 offset. My WB is just over 100" and I am running 37's.

What do you think of 63 wms rear and 66 wms front?

Thanks.

It'd be really stable.

BTW, sorry I did not get back to you on the Leaf springs. I've been a bit busy lately.

Nothing wrong with it. In fact it could be considered ideal.

No worries, got it done. Got a 1930's drill press for $50 I wanted to show off! Drilling the springs was a lot easier than everyone made it seem.

Cool

Drilling springs is really not hard at all. I am not sure why people make it out to be the hardest thing ever..

Howdy, what 1930's drill press did you get? Post up some pictures... Oh yeah the 40 is looking good! Have you and Robert gone wheeling yet?

wheel size question...

Quick question about your wheels. First, are those KMC wheels the ones with 4.75 backspacing? and second, are you running spacers? I'm in need of 17 inch wheels but dont know what backspacing will work. Thanks for any help or advice
