Why not take the wheels out to 10 inch? I fit 18x10 rims in my 70 Charger without cutting anything. They have 4 3/4 inch backspacing.



Passenger tire size choices are lacking for a 15X10 wheel if you don't want drag radials. You are stuck with 295/50R15 tires and those are less than 27" tall.

Btw, Don't square those 8" wheels in the wheel well. Put all the extra width on the front side of the wheel and fill in some of that gap.... will look much better. So 4.25 bs in that case.

I had some 8.5" wheels on the back of my '70 Bee that had a 3.75" bs and they looked quite nice (going to 10" now though).
