10 inch wheels on 69 road runner

[RallyeGreen]

I have seen many pictures of you guys running 10 inch wheels on the back of your 68-70 b-bods. What kinda mods were used, if any? I measured and without any mods (moving in springs and such) a 5.5 inch back spacing would work fine. I really want to run a 10 inch cragar, but cant seem to find a 10 inch with any more than a 4.5 back spacing. thanks for any input.

Thats because cragars are old school and they dont offer an real good offsets. You can run the 4.5's with a just lift and shackles like in the 70's hah. Just kidding....
But yes. a 15x10 with a 5.5 bs and no bigger than a 295x50. You shouldnt have problems as long as your springs arnt totally sacked

Ok, thanks. I also thought about running a 10 inch steelie with the dog dishes. I really dig that look too. Anybody know the backspacing on the 15x10 steelies from year one?

You can order the off set you want with Cragers. It cost extra tho.
