Wheel and tire time

ok sat down and did some major research.

we are going to go with the 15x6 Crager S/S all around (3.375 backspacing). the front tires with be a 195/60/15 and the rear will be 235/60/15.

will the 15x6 with 3.375 backspacing clear the front?

i hope this combo will work...its hard to find exctly what will fit.

the crager S/S isnt available in 15x7 or 15x8 with the proper backspacing [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]

I've got 16x8" with 215 60 16 front and 235 60 15 rear tires on mine. 4.5" backspacing and absolutely no rub issue. You could easilty run a 265 60 15 in the rear on a 8" rim with 4.5 " backspacing and a 215 or 225 in the front. Check out the picture of my 67.
