I am ready to order wheels for my 58 Apache. It has a Fatman Must II IFS, 
painted the frame today,  have the other parts getting powder coated. I like 
the look of smoothies with baby moons.

Question. I want a 8" wide rim, what back spacing do I need to order?

The old 6 lug chrome spokes were 7" wide with a 3 3/4" back space. The 
original axle is 62" wide, Fatman says the new Must II is 60 1/2" wide. If I 
do the math I need 3" back space. What are other TF trucks running? I hate 
to order 5 new wheels to find out they rub on corners.
