I want to keep the oldschool rake and looks of the wider rear tire. What do you think? I have not found the backspacing info yet on the wheels, they are Zenetti Five Chrome's, A nice spoke style. BTG will lower the rear 1.5" but I think there is still plenty of clearance for the 9.5" wide wheel. I will be leaving the bump stop at its full length also. Only issue I see is if the rear tire sticks out of the fender to much, it will spray water while on wet roads.
I hope you are right. That's awful wide, especially the front.
