I have a set of 14 by 8 cragers on the back with 245 60 r14s and it rubs on the outside fender cutting the driver side tire wall. I want to get some 15s but dont know what offset will fit without hitting the fender. Any suggestions?

15X8 use a 4.5 backspacing. You can run up to a 275/60-15, which will look alot better than your tiny 14's.

I assume this would apply to my original '69 SS396?

What tires are you going to run on the front?

I always loved the Don Yenko - Trans AM racing look of the 60's. These are American racing Torq D vintage series 105. They are 15 X 8.5 with 3&3/4 backspacing and 245-60-15 rubber. Same on all four corners and spare so I can get home if I had a flat not harming rear end. There are no fender rubbing issues and made my 69 handle so much better however the car did come with the F-41 option firm ride and handling.This may have the car sitting a bit higher than norm The 14 inch originals are stored If you have any questions email me willing to help any way I can --tim--
