    Is that where the wheel is going to set when it is mounted on the axle? I know before we order the wheel on the one I am building we measured 3 times to makes sure we ordered the right back spacing so they would fit in the wheel well opening. I know you can use wheel spacers to push the wheel outward but if you need to go the inward there is really no option with changing wheels. I am not a big fan of wheel spacers.

    I am not a big fan of spacers too.. I did measure 20 times...200 times...LOL ... and just to be sure,i decide to enlarge most possible..
    there room enough in all tire sides...maybe one day I decide to use a bigger tire...who knows..

    regarding "off set",I relied on the wheels and tires that were in the car .. I have "almost" sure it will fit nicely:hmmm::D:D:D:D

    in 10/15 days I will mount the axle to weld the links for suspension..then I will be sure if my "200 times" measure was right

    LOL..thanks man!!

    if I lived in USA, I certainly could build your own!:thumbs2::thumbs2:

    in fact,I am already looking for a new project.. the only problem is that it is very difficult to find mavericks here .. the few that still exist are in poor condition and cost a fortune .. but who knows if I can find some in a barn .. I'm looking for!:thumbs2:
