I am going to buy rims in 15x8 for my 1969 Chevy C10 SWB. What is the proper backspacing to use to clear on the front end, suspension, brakes, fenders, ect. I can get 2,3,4in backspacing. I am running front disc brakes off of a '71 and 11.75x.81 discs on the back. They are the stock car style rims, Basset wheels, I think, 15x8, 5x5, 2,3,4in backspacing. Also what size of tire should I run??
Thanks
