Johnny, I've ran into the same issue. Marsh did some for me and when I got them the backspacing wasn't what I asked for. When I called them they told me that was as much as they could put into a wheel.  :roll: Wish they would have told me that before they took my money... At least Capt. Thundar got some use out of them!

Buddy, (FlatCad, 38flattie) turned me onto a guy, but his name escapes me. He made my rears, and they were exactly what I wanted! I'll do some digging...
Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish. The product of a demented hill billy who has found a way to live out where the winds blow. To sleep late, have fun, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love or getting arrested.    H.S. Thompson

Wheel man in Cali. I can provide the number if needed. I got it from Stan Back. They did a great job, 2 week turn around
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Guys the thread is over a year old, but still some good advice for someone looking now. 

Marsh was able to make me some wheels this spring...









...that helped me eliminate more of the scrub radius on the lakester....

I'll bet reducing your scrub radius changed the feel of the car.

... the build table   :cry: :cry:  and probably won't for some time  :cry: :cry:, but I do want to get the scrub radius as good as I can just in case the car ever does actually run  :-),
