xwroo 348 Posted March 5, 2016 Hi, I'm looking at getting some centreline retro wheels with 15x10 5" backspace rears, now I want to get deep dish on the rear. Getting deep dish how does that affect the backspace, do you get a lesser backspace for more dish? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNTL.XD 3,831 Posted March 5, 2016 Yep, sure do. You're effectively moving the centre inward or outward inside the rim. 10" with 5" backspace will give you 5" dish. Usually 1/2 and 1/2 like that with 5 at the front and 5 at the back is what most guys have on the rear of Fords. Seems to be a perfect fit. 1 xwroo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MNTL.XD 3,831 Posted March 5, 2016 Nah, sorry to confuse. A 10" rim with 5" backspace will have 5" dish. 1/2 the rim exposed at the back and 1/2 at the front, so it's central. If it has 4 1/2" backspace it will have 5 1/2" dish. If it has 4" backspace it will have 6" dish and so on. 1 xwroo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MNTL.XD 3,831 Posted March 5, 2016 Is yours XW? (Going by your profile name) Is it the shorter than standard length? You might need to do some measuring if you haven't already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xwroo 348 Posted March 5, 2016 Yea it's an xw, but I got a later model falcon diff to go into it which will be getting shorten to suit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNTL.XD 3,831 Posted March 5, 2016 Oh ok. You may be able to go with less backspacing than 5" then, giving a deeper dish. A standard XD with a standard width XD diff will run a 0 offset wheel (5" backspace with a 10" wheel.) You'd have to check if yours IS 0 offset or not.

xwroo 348 Posted March 5, 2016 The diff im putting in is a standard width xd diff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
