I'm thinking getting a set of Boyd Smoothies for my 1972 El Camino. It sits basically stock so I'm going to go for a set 15". I'm thinking 15x7 which has a 3 3/4" backspacing. I want the wheels to fit in the wheel well with nothing sticking out or looking stupid. Will 3 3/4" get it done? This is not about stuffing the widest tire possible under the car ... I'm looking to put four tires of the same size (225/60ish) on the car.

Also I'm looking for a couple of upclose pictures of these wheels installed on something. Specifically how they look with the stock discs behind them.

Thanks everyone!

Brian. I am sorry that I can not send Pics. But for what it is worth I have them on my 1972 SS chevelle. And if I do not say so my self they look great!!!!! I have stock drums in rear and cross drilled Raybestos rotors in front. If you plan on puting any thing over a 245-60-15 on the rear I would suggest you get the 15x8 4.5BS. My set up is 15x7 3.75BS front with 245-60-15 and 15x8 4.5BS rear with 255-60-15 giving car .5 inch pitch forward. I think they look good with that stance. Good luck!
Gary.

Gary, did you go with white letter tires or black wall?

I'm thinking white letters

I've got 17" Boyd Smoothie II wheels on my '67...see signature...
