Is anyone running 15x 8.5 Centerline Auto/Drags with 4 7/8" backspace on the back of a 68-72?
How do they look? Fit? anyone have pics?
Thanks Tony

hoffbug,

I have seen several 1970-72 Chevelles run 15x8.5 rims with 275/50R15 or 275/60R15 tires and they look great in my opinion. Im not sure on the back spacing they all use, but they seem to fit fine. A lot of people run 15x10 rims with 295/50R15 tires and that also looks great, and its the biggest I would go, but I have seen two guys run 325/50R15 tires on 15x10 rims and NO tubbing, only rolled lips on the quarter panel. 70_Chevelle on Team Chevelle is one of those guys that run 325s.
