Front wheel back space.

[SandDiesel]

For those with an early B Body that are running a 4 or 5 inch TT or similar wheel, what back space are you using? Got a 65 Belvedere II.

This is a set of 15X5" steelies with a 3" b.s.;I think TT's are the same in dimension. Tires are 205-75R15's

Thanks Al K. Are those 275/60-15's in back too? BFG or similar front and back. Ordering this week when I get back in town.

Those are 255-70R15's on the rear;29" tall. Cooper Trendsetters on the front,Cooper Cobra GT's on the rear. The rear wheels are 15X8 with 4-1/4 backspacing.

Backspace

I know that the original wheels are 14", but what was the width and backspace of the originals?

 

[Al K]

Wedgie;I just half-assed measured an original 14" wheel(with an original 7.35-14 Goodyear Power Cushion tire on it) and came up with 5-1/2 inches wide,and almost 4" back-spacing.
