after swapping tires between cars yesterday and mixing a bunch of premix concrete, I really don't want to swap yet another set just to see if it fits, so,
Does a 15x8 weld street stars (steel and chrome version) with 4.5 back space and 255 70 tires fit a stock 68 el camino? I have air bags in the springs I don't know if theyre popped or not but just curious. thanks Jim

Should fit just fine on the back. I have 15 x 7 rim, 255/60 tire on mine with only 3" of backspace and no rubbing, even with the air out of the bags.
