Hey guys I was looking into buying some new wheels, american torq, or Cragar s/s but there so damn pricey. I dont have the catelog with me but I think it's OPG, a big fat catelog, they have some nice looking 15x8's that look just like cragars and americans for half the price. There $95 a pop. I'll find which book it was in and a name, it was probably some off brand, it didnt look bad at alllllll. Im not much a brand whore so as long as it's a smooth drive I dont care what they say on em, I'll post up in a few hours with the brand and catelog, let me know if anyone has seen em!

Also with backspacing, The higher the number the more they stick out, and lesser, the closer into the car they will be right?

a 4.5" backspace will stick out LESS than one with 3.5" backspace. So the higher the number the LESS it will stick out. I believe you want 4.5" bs on an 8" rim and 5.5" for a 10" rim. Good luck!

I should have told you I'm running some Cragar Street Stars that are 15x8" with 4" OF backspacing and they fit fine with 275/60 tires. FYI:I am running a '66 rear end (which is 1/2" narrower than a 68-72) but it looks like I've got more than 1" of extra space.
