jcarey8 Mar 20th, 05, 7:52 AM i want to put 15-10's or 15-8 on the back of my '72 malibu 4 door sports sedan. Would these fit, and how would they look? I want to go for the big beefy back end look. thanks guys john ps- im putting 15-7 up front, no problem with that right? ken70ss396 Mar 20th, 05, 10:09 AM What size tire are you planning on putting on the car? A wheel with 15x8 with 4 1/2 inches of backspacing will fit as will 15x10 with 5 1/2 inches of backspacing. The tire size is more important.Most agree the 15x8 with a 275-60 15 tire will fit fine,but when you go to a 15x10 the clearance between the tire and inner fender lip or tire and shock mount gets pretty tight. A lot of folks here have had no problem with 15x10's with a 275-50 15 size tire. The wheel backspacing is critical and the amount the tire sidewall bulges out can cause the clearance issues.

It would be great to see the cars as well as know the tire size. Also can't find how tall a tire i can run without mods, any ideas? Ralph | ||
