im looking at some new mags for my 72. 15x8 rear 15x7 front. the rear has a 4.5 backspace. will I have to run a spacer in there to clear the e-brake and trailing arm?
The factory wheels are 15X8 with 4" backspace. You could run into interference with the parking brake cable. Why would you want go with a narrower wheel in the front?

MY thoughts are if it's a sports car, keep some meat up front. Drag/Muscle can have some skinny front but things that were supposed to go around corners....
Also, it's a big wheel well to fill...
As for interference, as stated, there isn't a lot of room on the brake bracket (why they get moved sometimes) and it depends on the tires also.
I had 245's on stock rims scrub the bracket lightly. Others have been fine.
I think spacers will likely be needed to get the tire back out
