I want to buy a set of 15X10 cragar ss wheels with 295 tires for the rear of my 71 malibu. Does cragar make a big enough backspacing for their ss wheels? Pics would be great.

Dont know if they make them but you will prbably want 5" or 5.5" backspacing to fit properly.

15*8 w/ 4.5 bs will work w/ a 295 tire.
15*10 w/ 5.5 bs wil also work w/ a 295 tire.

i know these cuz i have been reading up latley about 295's. i was going to run them and then i got 15*10's but have 4.5" bs so i cant run 295's now.

and no the biggest size bs they make is 4.5. i think you can special order wheels w/ more though.

sorry for the wrong info.. my new 15*10's have 3 3/4" bs, and my 15*6's have 2 3/4. i actually mesured them tonight.

so now i need to get a new set of wheels because i cant run that wide of a tire on it now.
