I am interested in purchasing wheels and tires and don't know how to size them for my car. I would like wider tires on the back. I read about off sets bit I am not sure how to apply size to the car to know what will fit without rubbing the fender wells. If the rear needs a lift what would be the best way to do this I have a 1971 chevelle

Thanks for your help
Dan
