which backspace to choose ?
Hi all,
am in process upgrading to 5 lug. getting rear axle from quickperformanceracing if anyone knows them.
There will be 11" disc brakes coming with the axle.
for the front i decided for the discbrakeswap kit.
Now i'm thinking about what wheels to get (unfortunately can't keep the old 4lugs, which will make this expensive).
So that's what I think about getting:

cragar quick trick I, 15x7" 5x4.5" bolt circle should be ok as far as I know.
But there are 2 different ones: 3.75" backspace and 4.5" backspace.
which ones should I get ?
Anyone any idea ?
thanks,
Kalli

Kalli that is the same set-up i am using on our 65..... the only difference is i used cragar ss wheels...they only come with 4.25 back space and i would have loved to have that xtra .25 inch to clear the wheelwell on drivers side..... without power steering will it be a little hard steering with that size tire on front? i was thinking about our 69 camero and that size tire being a tough one for the wife to drive......just curious

thatnks for info :-) do you have pictures of the current setup ? would love to see that. it'll be awkward steering alright, so I'm not sure about 195 or 205 yet. currently driving 195 in the front

yes. received them alright :-) thanks !!!
dodgestang: so you're saying I should go for the 3.75" backspace ? I really have no idea. I just want them to fit.

actually I found dodgestangs charts:

there are a few references which say 15x7, 3.75" all bone stock should fit
Nice one. that's another decision made ... slowly but surely getting it together

I know this bs deal can be frustrating not knowing if the wheels will fit. I am going through the same process, ordered wheels, but I won't know for sure until I bolt them on. You just need to do as much homework as you can with what you have on your car. My setupis somewhat custom, so I had to measure the bs of the car. That way I knew what would fit and what wouldn't. Good luck.
