Wheel backspacing question

[99svtcobra202]

Have a question - I know nothing about what "backspacing" is? Can I get a description/explination?

I notice in the FRPP catalog my stock cobra wheels are 5.72"

The Y2K cobra R are 5.84"

And the new Fr500 are 5.97"

What does this mean?

Will one wheel stick out further?

Please educate me!

Thanks in advance.

The back spacing moves the wheel in or out , you need the right spacing to clear calipers shocks ect. I think less spacing moves the wheel in and more moves the wheel out.

I think you're right Machrse, that would make sense - but don;t take my word for it!
