Ordering Wheels, What back spacing are you guys using?
Hello Guys,
I am needing a little help! I have a 1968 short fleet that I am going to turn into my daily driver. I ordered a 4/6 drop kit as well as a frot disk brake upgrade kit from Early Classic Ent. My question is about wheels. I am staying with the factory 6 lug rear and adding 6 lug disk up front. I am going to order a set of 15" smoothies and was wondering if any one could help me out with the amount of backspacing I should go with? I am going with 15x10 rears and 15x8's up front. Advise and pics would be a great help!!!! |

4"-4.25" on the front with 15x8. 5"-5.5" bs on the 15x10 rear should be about right.
Hopefully someone can chime in here and confirm that.

By the way Dale,
I love your build, I am contemplating running those same wheels on mine but may go with the gray painted centers! I was leaning towards the steel smoothies just because of pricing. Eventually I would like to paint my truck a flat gray color and go with red interior. I think a set of red smoothies would be killer as well as the summit wheels. |

Yea I think that it would be perty cool. Honda has a new color on their 1300cc VTX Choper looking bike that is a flat gray. I am thinking about going with that color but I will have it mixed because Honda does not have any paint codes.
