1973-15" rim backspace ?
Hello;
I hope you guys are not tired of this one. I would like to jump up from 14 to 15" rims on my 73 convert. I have seen the famous chart with the 275-60-15 with a backspace of 4.5 to 5.5 My search has only come up with a standard backspace of 4" I have been looking at the Cragar line. I want something in a steel chrome wheel. Is this a high dollar custom rim? Also what size of larger 15" rims and tires is everyone running? Thanks Dave

Ok, I have the back rims and tires on. I went with Cragar soft eight in a 15' rim with a 4.75 backspace (they came as a stock rims), and 275-60-15 BFG's.
Now, What size would look best in the front. Back to the chart it looks to be something around 225-60-15?--205-60-15? I want the front to drop a little. Right now the back is just above level. Thanks again Dave
