backspacing for MT ET drag wheels skinnies
Just wondering if anyone knows the backspacing to run with the MT ET drag wheels on the front skinnies? they are available in 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 backspacing, so just wondering which is the better way to go?

My ProStars are 1.75" BS.
Then spaced out 5/8" to clear the calipers without rubbing.

I would have failed tech that way. Guy checked the wheel studs.
Even though the shank lugs will fit, I like having the longer, stronger studs in there. Reassurance I guess.

no problem being safe. yeah, if we ever had real tech, i wouldn't pass either. the rules say the stud has to be at least even with the top of the lugnut.
