Can someone tell me what the largest diameter backing pad is that I can use with these pads is?I have a few different sizes kicking around, 5",5.5",5.75",6.5".Just about to order some pads from The Pak Shak and figured if I can use one of these I can buy another type of polish to try!

I use a 6" BP with my 7.5 pads.

I've got two BPs for the PC - 5" and 6". The larger fits the LC 7.5" pads perfectly.

I just ordered my Makita Rotary from Autogeek and the rep suggests that you use a 6inch backing plate with LC 7.5" Pads. The Makita comes with a 6.5 inch backing plate that should mainly be used with 8.5 Pads. So to directly answer your question. If you have 7.5" pads then use maximum a 6"inch backing plate. He said that the Makita's 6.5 bp would work with the 7.5 " pads but he wouldnt really recommend it since its pushin it.
