Deuce wheel width

[gregary]

What is the stock wheel width and back spacing on a duece? Found some 1400 20s and some 15.50 80 20s on gl. Michelin says the use a 10 inch wheel width. My duece is bobbed so rear is no problem, but wondering about rubbing while turning on the front

Let me add some more drawings here, I know it was posted somewhere before...

The first one shows what happens at full right with a 15.5 vs. 9.00x20 mounted on a stock wheel.
Second one, same tire but on a M35 wheel widened to 10": no interference!

Third drawing is to avoid confusion: in that old diagram what I had indicated as offset actually is called backspace. So backspace is 10.5" and offset is 5.75".
