I know you can fit a 295/65/15 on a Dodge. 4.5 backspacing. 8" wheel. They look great and I will probably go with them on my Bee eventually...

I tried 315/50R15 on my 70 RR but they rubbed. Went back to 275/60R15 and they clear ok. Wheels are 10" with 5 1/2" backspace and the tyres are centred in the wheel well.

i didn't think you could fit any tires that big under a b-body without modification...interesting. on a 68-70 plymouth b-body you can go with a 15" diameter, 10" wide wheel with a 275/60/15 tire? i have 15" diameter, 8" wide wheel with the same size tire. i wasn't sure of the backspacing, but it is good to know that 5 1/2" is good for a 10" wide wheel. what would be good backspacing for an 8" wheel? 4 1/2"? what is the proper backspacing for the front tires? i would like to put 15" diameter 7" wide wheel. i was hoping to use regular wheels in the front and reversed in the back, for a nostalgic look. front: rear: would 3 5/8" backspace be too much in the front on a 15" x 7" wheel?
