Measuring for Backspace Front Wheels

Fst73_360 said

I understand how to measure for correct BS on rear wheels, but how do you do so on the front since the wheels turn in and may interfere with frame etc. Any guidance would be great.

Plan if possible is to run 18x8.5 with 5.7 BS 245/50-18 tire on front. Thanks

Best way is to use a wheel with a know backspace. With that said your in the right ballpark. I run a 18"X9" with a 6.3" back space on front and it's about perfect. Keep in mind smaller diameter wheels or dropped spindles change everything as the outer tie rod can start hitting the rim or tire with that much backspacing.
