Hi do you guys know what the maximum backspacing for wheels used on a bug frame with IRS rear and balljoint frontend with 4-lug drums all around? I am looking into these 15x9rear and 15x8front wheels with 5-3/4in. backspacing for both fronts and backs!..they came off a Porsche 914. Do you think they will fit my buggy without rubbing on the inside? I am not sure if those 1/4in. wheel spacers would even bring them out enough to clear the torsion arms in the back..what do you guys think? thx

i think i am about 2 inches from rubbing with a 3.25in backspace. it would be real close.
