1 " back spacing on rims?

[jackobotz]

anyone every heard of a rim with 1" back space?

5 on 4.5 bolt pattern 1" backspace::: that will push your tires out there.

pushing the tires out that far, will it wear your wheel bearings out with the added stress? i would think the same for wheel spacers.

Yes, any decrease in backspacing will increase stress and wear on wheel bearings.

Those wheels don't look out of the ordinary, look to have the typical 3.5"-4.5" of backspacing from that angle.

wheels with 1" backspacing were popular in the 60's and 70's, we called them flip flop rims.

the wheels in the picture are not 1" BS wheels

Agreed, they don't look out of the ordinary. They aren't 1'' wheels for sure. Look like regular ones to me.

All the best,
