hi all... i love the look of the 15x8 steelies with the dog dish caps... i question if these will work for me?

Re: steel wheels & dog dish.. backset with disc brakes?
I'm pretty sure they had 4.5" backspace. Stock 72 had disk brakes. So a stock wheel and cap should fit. You measure it from the mounting surface to the bead or lip on the rim where the tire rests. Easiest way is to get a strait edge and lay it a Ross the wheel. Then measure down strait to the wheel mount surface from the strait edge.
