So 3.75 backspacing fits? Color me surprised! I could swear there's just a *tiny* bit of clearance on my 3.3" backspacing wheels.

I even bought a set of fairly cheap 14X6 TT D's and tried them on, and they rubbed there (and rubbed the tie rod end, which is why they went right back out on eBay).

Maybe it's the thinner steel wheel? Could you fit a tire weight on the inner rim?

Who knows, maybe I checked clearance against the bent arm that I later replaced.
