Wheel backspacing refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel (where the lug nuts are) and the innermost part of the wheel's rim. It determines how far the wheel sits in or out from the vehicle's wheel well.
On a 1994 Mustang, incorrect backspacing can lead to problems like:
* Wheel rubbing against suspension components or the body: Too little backspacing pushes the wheel outward, increasing the risk of rubbing.
* Wheel sticking out too far (poke): This can affect the car's appearance and potentially create handling issues.
* Wheel being too far inward (tucked): This can make the car look odd and might affect braking or suspension performance.
To find the correct backspacing for your 1994 Mustang, you need to consider the wheel's diameter and width, as well as the tire size. You'll want to research what backspacing is commonly used on Mustangs of that year and model, perhaps in online forums or from aftermarket wheel suppliers specializing in Mustangs. Choosing the wrong backspacing can lead to safety and handling problems.
