I met with the prev owner today, he is working on another bobber and has another set of 5t wheels that he has not modified yet that he is going to use on it. We talked about the backspacing and made some measurments on the 5t wheels and came up with a solution. We are going to have new disks...
53" Goodyear AT-A2's. The previous owner had them mounted on modified street wheels with 3.5" backspace and had no clearance issues, but the lip on the original wheels failed so he had these made up. Did not realize the backspace issue or rub problem until I called him to figure out how to fix...

Whats he asking for the bobber out by the fence??? Drove by today and it looked pretty rough. I've tried calling several times but no one answers. I used to have an M38a1 and thats where I got all my parts.
