I'm getting ready to buy rims and tires for my 67 Satellite and was planning to get 8" rims with 4.5 back space and these tires Mickey Thompson Sportsman SR 28 x10 - 15
Do You think they will fit or should I try to get a custom back space of 4.75?

Sorry to hijack

It's not a hijack, it's a discussion on what fits a 67 so it's all good.

Honestly I don't see them fitting with the 8 inch wide wheels with the 4.5 inch backspacing.
If you roll the fender lips maybe, but it's still gonna be close.

I think it'll need more than even 4.75 backspacing to clear, more like 5 inch.

From looking at the specs, yours would be a little narrower which would help the fit.

Sportsman S/R
6640
28X10.00R15LT
section width 10.3
tread width 8.7
diameter 28

ET Street Radial Pro
3754X
P275/60R15
section width 11.4
tread width 9.8
diameter 28.2

I have the dana 60 (which is 1 inch narrower) bolted in the car now but I haven't install the axles yet (they just arrived).

Once I have them in I'll do another trial fitment and post pics.

If everything clears okay with that setup it will essentially be the same as a stock width rear axle with 5 inch rear spacing wheels.
As I said before, mine are 8 inch with 4.5 rear spacing but the dana is one inch narrower).

Hopefully I'll know Monday, tomorrow is already planned out for a birthday party.
