Wheel Question - need help
I have a set of cragar ss 15x8 on my 68. I am very interested in putting a set of 15x10 on the rear, can someone please tell me if these will fit with no modification, and with what offset/backspacing I should get?
I know alot of you will come back and say go with 16 or 17" but my 15's look great, are relatively new, and it will be cheaper to get 2 wide rears than 4 new 16+.
Tire sizes would be really helpful as well. Thanks for any help you can give me

Unless you want they hanging out the side of the car with stock fenders they will not fit. I just bought a set of 10 x 18's and I needed 6.5 backspacing to make them fit properly on the outside.
You can not fit 6.5 backspacing because of the trailing arms and the spring. Both interfer with even 5 inches of backspacing.
Unless you want them hanging out pick something smaller.
