Pro street rally wheel specs?
Got a 71 swb w/ a ECE 4/6 drop and I just finished mini tubbing it. I have a pair of 29x15.5r15 hoosier pro street radials already and I am about to pull trigger on a set of custom rallys from Stockton Wheels.
15X12 8" backspacing -rear 15X8 4.5" backspacing -front w/ probably some 235/70r15 BFG I think this will work. Please let me know what you think. |

Before you pull the trigger measure and measure again.
Those big meats need a 11" to 13" wide wheel. Here's a link to best figure it out. http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles...t/viewall.html |

Re: Pro street rally wheel specs?
4.5" backspace on your front 15" wheels is going to cause clearance issues with your lower a-arms (rubbing).
You'd be better off using a 15x7 with a 4" backspace. (3.5" bs would be even better,... but I don't know how far you would want them to stick out)

Re: Pro street rally wheel specs?
I am curently running
255/60r167 on 17"x8" 4.5"bs -front 275/60r17 on 17"x9" 5"bs- rear no problems at all. I am a little worried about 15's on front with my drop. Anyone having any clearance issues with inner wheel rubbing? Also plan on notching it and droping it another inch or 2 all the way around. |

Re: Pro street rally wheel specs?
With 15x7 and 3.5bs it will put the outer lip of the wheel at the same place as my current set up, right?

I've had 15x12s and I am currently running a 20x12 on the back of my 68 with a factory rear axle. Both sets of wheels had with a 7" backspacing.
