I want to put a 10 inch Centerline Nitro II's on the rear of my 72 Malibu. I can get it with 5 inch Backspacing. I want to run the Mickey Thompson tires. The suspension is stock. Can anyone tell me if this will fit?

What tires? 5.5" backspace is required for the best fit.

I guess I really do need 5.5 in backspace, so I think I'm going to get the Racelight 92 wheels from greg weld with the mickey thompson tires. So in the rear I want to put 10 in welds with 5.5 backspace with the mickey 28.00x12.00-15 then on the front 8 in wheels with 26.00x10.00x15. will this fit and what backspace do I need up front? Thanks to anyone that can help.!!!!.....

Are you going for a race car or street car look?? If your going for the race car look......you don't want 8" rims in the front.....more like 4 or 5's. If you want the car to handle.....you better up the wheel size to at least 17's.

My 15X10s have 5"s of backspace. I fit a 30X9" slick on that bad boy:yes:
