I am looking at getting some smoothie 2 wheels. The backspacing on them is 108mm is this gona look ok??? I dont have a clue what that 108mm means I dont want to order the wheels then have them look like crap. If anyone knows anything about the backspacing can you help me a little?

Thanks, Black 93 Fox

25.4mm=1" so, 108mm=4.25" backspacing...seems kinda shallow, how wide are the rims?

I believe you can run up to 6" of backspacing on stock track width foxes without modification...the older style Cobra R rims had 5.92"...

but I'm sure someone else will chime in with more accurate measurements-I think they'll look sweet if you get the right depth!

if you get 8" rims with only 4.25" backspacing you're gonna end up with almost 4" of rim on the outside...

see if you can get them in like a 5.5" or 6" backspace...or ask them which backspace they recommend
