Wheel backspacing ?

I have a 68 C-10 longbed.I think the stock backspace is 4.00".Could I use wheels with 3.75" or 4.75" backspace?These are the two choices with the type of wheels I want to use.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Wheel backspacing ?

If they are 15-inch diameter, I am thinking you could go with the 3.75-inch b/s. If they are larger, say 16-inch and up, you could go with the deeper b/s.

You have to be sure they clear the tie rod ends up front.

They are 15" wheels so I'll go with the 3.75" bs.
Thanks
