Space between wheel and e-brake cable
I just bought a set of Foose 15 x 8 Nitrous RT wheels with a 4" bs for my 81' Vette. I test fitted the wheels on Saturday and they clear the calipers fine. I was suprised to see how close the back lip of the wheel comes to the emergency brake cable bracket. When I put the stock aluminum alloy wheel and tire back on I noticed that it too is very close to that bracket. My question is for those of you that are running any type of aftermarket 15" wheels with a 4" bs how close do your wheels ride to that bracket? Is it necessary to relocate it? Just curious, but does a -11.79 offset equal a 4" backspace?

You shouldn't have to move it to the inside, but it would not hurt to move it slightly forward to give it just a bit more clearence.
