Looking at the possibility of getting some new wheels. I kinda like that Cragar SS/Torque Thrust look. I see that Summit has these Eagle 211's for a decent price, about $100 cheaper than the Torque Thrusts. For the front I would get a 15 X 7 which has 4 inch backspace, no problem here. On the back I want a 15 X 8 which in the Eagle 211,s has a 3.75 inch backspace. I know ideally this size wheel should have a 4.5 inch backspace but I was wondering if the 3.75 would work. These Eagle 211's even have a 3.75 backspace on their 15 X 10's.

The 3.75 on a 15x8 will create some clearance problems.

I had the same issue with the Eagle Alloy's, they don't make a 4.5 backspacing. Instead of running 275/60-15's which are 28" tall, I ended up running 235/70-15's, same height but not as wide. Then I ran 225/70-15's on the front with the 15X7's.

Man that sucks. I also found out that there is a Cragar SS wheel that is all Aluminum and doesn't have the uni lug set up but those are not produced in anything smaller than 17 inch. I already have all four tires ( mounted on my present wheels ) so looks like I have to bite the bullit one way or another.
