    1.5" + 3.5" = 5" backspacking for the OEM wheel. (According to my calculations).

    But this chart shows it should be 5.5" backspacing. The chart looks wrong.

    Or I don't understand something.



    (I also did a search on backspacing. I looked thru most of the threads with that term. Not a single post mentioned OEM backspacing. Since my new VX no longer has stock wheels, I cannot verify what it SHOULD be.)

    Ughhh....what's this forum category for? Since it included a GIANT wheel thread, I thought it was the correct location. Is it not?

    OK., thanks.

    Without a specific reply, let me try the question this way....

    Is anyone running wheels that have 3/4" more backspacing than stock? Basically, I'm trying to figure out if up to 1" more backspacing (than stock) will fit in the wheels w/o rubbing. For sake of argument, lets say it's with 30" diameter tires.
