Hey all, I am putting 15x7's all the way around on my 1970 maverick. They are 5 lug. I am wondering what the offset and backspacing I will need. I am wanting to put 225/60/15 in the front and maybe 245/60/15 in the back. What will I need? I also have the opportunity to maybe get 2 275/60/15 tires for the back and if so what would I need for those. All help is wanted and excepted. Thanks guys!
Backspacing and wheel width is all you need to be concerned about. For the rear, anywhere from a 3-3/4" to a 4" backspace will work with the 245/60-15. For the front, a 4" to 4-1/4" backspace is what you want for the 225/60-15.
.. any info if the same numbers apply for 14" rims w/drums ?. thanks Backspacing and wheel width is all you need to be concerned about. For the rear, anywhere from a 3-3/4" to a 4" backspace will work with the 245/60-15. For the front, a 4" to 4-1/4" backspace is what you want for the 225/60-15.
With a 4-inch backspace and 7-inch rim, you can run a 235/60-14 up front and 245/60-14 on the rear with no problems.
