DAMN IT! Not gonna work! I need at least -4" or -4.5" back spacing! These mags are standard 3" back spacing. Duh! I got so excited that I didn't think of this! Back to the drawing board. Damn it looks tough too!

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Anyone got any leads to a pair with at least a -4.5" back space????

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Man that's a bummer!!! Looks sweet. As for finding some with that deep of back spacing, good luck. I can't recall finding any that had more than a 4" BS.
Are you running an axle out of a '71+ truck or did you keep the stock housing and put axle shafts in? The '71+ axles are wider. |

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Maybe I'll change out the rear end for a shorter one...

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
It would be a shame to not be able to use those wheels. They look great.
American Racing does make a 15x8 with a 5x5 pattern and 4.5” backspace – part number A695873 in the Ansen Sprint series. Not sure if the extra inch in width would still cause a problem on the fender side or not. http://www.wheelsforless.com/detail.aspx?ID=2520 They also list a 15x7 with a 4” offset – part number A695773. Perhaps if you could find the new wheels on sale somewhere they might cost less than swapping the rear axle. |

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Dude you're killing me! Stop with the artsy fartsy pics and how about one of the wheel, straight on, close enough to see the full wheel and tire without anything else. :D
Want to get an idea of how it looks straight on and not from an angle. Thanks!!! and looking good. |

Re: 60-66 Tire/Wheel Pics
Hey Chevy mike, yeah I did use a '71 rearend. The track is one inch wider than the stock one on each side. I figure I'll be cool with a pair of new Ansen sprints cause they have a back spacing of -4", with will fit just like these steelies on now. (cross my fingers)

I bought a pair of Rocket 5 spoke mags when I first got back from Vietnam because they were half the cost of Americans. Here’s a picture of them on my 63 Galaxie in 1970: http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3412/1963ford02.jpg They looked exactly like American Torque Thrusts, but were indeed really cheap wheels. The aluminum spokes and cosmetic aluminum rim covered the face of the steel rim all the way to the tire. They worked fine until the first monkey tried changing tires with an automatic tire machine and bent the front of the aluminum rim edge down against the steel rim and cracked it. This has nothing to do with the quality of the current production wheels, just interesting the new company doesn’t appreciate the Rocket name use to reflect the same quality level as Fenton products. |

My dad had a set of 15x10' a couple of years ago.
