 Topic: Proper backspacingPosted: 04-March-2004 at 10:05PM |
|
I'm planning on ordering a set of Magnum 500's for my '72 sportsroof. It currently has, I believe, 10" Cragars on the back, and they stick out way too far. I plan to order 15x8's all around. Can anyone tell me the proper backspacing for front and rear wheels? Also, would 15x8's be too wide for the front? I may want to sell the Cragars, so if anyone is in the market, my price will be very reasonable. View my current wheels here: http://home.att.net/~a.guilford/index/gts.htm Thanks! |

15X8 " Magnums will fit just fine, I have them on my 73 GTS. I think the back space is 3.5 or 4.0 , I have not had any interference at all!
