Danny,
Reference the last email I forwarded to the Forum from Jim
Duncan......"Some" wheels DO need backspacers so you need to make sure you
or someone completes  the measurements for the wheel you are planning to
use......also keep in mind that anytime we are talking backspace numbers you
need to make sure we are talking the same size wheels, the SAME width,
height and even the same mfg........there is MORE THEN ONE sized CobraR
wheel and SEVERAL mfg's of these CobraR wheels...........so make SURE you
are using the correct backspaced wheels which the CobraR wheels that Jim
Duncan has on his Pantera are.
MD, 
P.S.  Laurie, in answer to your questionI didn't get fired.....I got a
PROMOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
