OK, I have another one, what is the largest rim I can fit (to the edge of the wheel wells front and rear but not beyond? I need to know what backspacing to order as well. I've been thinking about a set of Cragar SS's just to be nostalgic

That's a little larger than what I had in mind. I was thinking more in terms of a 15 inch rim.

Then you should have said so. You asked for the largest, and that's what I gave you. There are a ton of 15 inchers out there, just do a google search.

My apologies for not being clearer. What I need to know is what is the WIDEST 15 inch rim that will fit, front and rear, without going past the wheel wells. I will also need, if anyone knows, the backspacing so the tires wont rub.

Just get rid of the 18 and add a 15 to the info already given. BS is still the same.
