Buying new Rallye wheels from Summit size 15X7. I intend to mount 215R65/15's on my 66 chevelle. Question is what backspace is best? They offer a 3 3/4....4.....4 1/4......4 1/2 inch backspace. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance..

Zero offset on a 15x7 would be approximately 4" backspace. That would center the wheel in the wheelwell.

You do know you can fit 15 x 8's on the back easily, right?
