steel rim fit on 61
I have two 15 x 6 wheels less the nubs for full stock caps.they hold big brake caps fine can I use same 15 x 6 rim on front with stock rubber.670/15
I have been having balance troubles with original rims.decided to put them away and use the new rims.If I can find two more.
How is backset measurement taken?

5-1/2 & 6 wheels did not have anywhere near 4" bs.
i have used 8" stock rallys on the front, they are 4 & 4 and they are close but worked. so 6" (2 & 4) should not be a problem if you don't go crazy with tire width...; BUT they may look a bit funky with the tire inward because of all that bs. you can always put a spacer behind if you need to move it out.
8" rallys don't work so well on the back because of the outside of the tire hitting the wheel well opening edge (unless you raise the back with airshocks)
