Im having a hard time getting my rear tire setup straightened out.
I measured my backspace

@ 3.5"
Then I cut a dowel to simulate clearance. AFter some trimming, I got a size of 4.5" with decent clearance on top of that for bulge in the tire

This would give me like 8" of backspacing (everything else being the same). The company I'm dealing with only goes up to 7" of backspace it seems. Did I miss something here?
I did a quick drawing of my mental math. Maybe its not right, but hopefully it helps.
