Looking to buy these:

Not sure on the backspacing?, truck is stock height and I will be running the stock GM rallys 15x8 rallys on the front, Tires will be 295/50/15 rears and 245/60/15 fronts. Im thinking 4.5" backspacing to get the most dish on the outside. Am I correct?

Truck as it sits now

I have the same rear size rallys on mine (15x10 with 295/50/15) but I have 5in back space for fender clearance. If your not going to install a flip kit 4.5in backspace will be fine with lots of dish.

Thanks, Is that Rear outer fender clearance? How did you find the quality? Did they match the same?

Geting rid of the slots?

Quality-A1, but I bought mine directly from wheel vintiques.
By matching, if you mean the stamping of the center of the wheel, yes its a perfect match.
If you mean the color I don't know, I painted mine black. And yes it was outer fender clearance.

Thanks J Night. I think then the 4.5 BS will be the ones. I just wanted the same as the fronts but wider.

Jonboy The slots will be going on the other 87 that I have. I do like the look but they are alot of upkeep to keep them that shiny. I also have a pair of Eagle Alloy 5 spoke for the Blue 87 which i like alot.

Just as J Knight said, the quality of the wheels is great and they match factory originals perfectly. I purchased the exact ones you looking at from Summit and they have a really nice paint finish on them although I ended up painting mine because I wanted an exact paint match with the front 15x8's I already had on the front.

Just a suggestion. If you are not lowering I would suggest a little taller tire on the rear. 295/50's leave a really big gap on a stock height truck. Maybe a 275/60/15. They are like 28" tall as oppose to the 26" 295/50. They look nice and wide on a 10" wheel as well.

i think 235/75/15 and 295/60/15 would be perfect for running15x10's on the back of these trucks but sadly its not a popular size

these would look pretty dang cool though http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOO-17125/

I already have the tires on the slots and I went out and my mistake there 235/60's so I just want to swap rims and get something with less maintenance.

I have the 6 bolt rallys on my 69 with 8's on the front and 12's on the back but I had them custom made.

So just what would be a good wheel to fender space? I measured mine and it seemed that a 15/10 w/4.5 Back space would leave me 1/2" from tire to fender. Thats taking into account adding 1.5 inchs to the edge of my (tire)255/60 on a 15/8 w/4" backspace. Am I wrong? Because a 295/50 or a 275/50 on a 10" will not have as side bulge.

Im running 15x10 5in bs w/295/50/15 tires. I have 1/4in clearance on the fender lip and 1in clearance from the wheel tub. (10 bolt rear, if it matters)
