wheel size and backspacing question
Posted: Thu Apr 27, 2017 3:48 am
I own a 1977 pontiac astre. I was wondering if a 15x7 with 3" backspacing will fit inside the wheel well or would a 3.5" backspacing work better. I seen people posting that they are using over 4" backspacing but from what I measured 4" would be hitting the back wall. unless I am doing it wrong. wheels will be areo racing 55 series 15x7 with 195/50r15 possible 205/50r15 on rear. if I can get away with 15x8 in the rear. I want it as close to the fender as possible but since the car is going to be lowered they need to fit just inside the lip
