Hi,

Does anybody know, or can measure, the backspacing of a stock 15x6" steel wheel from a 1969 b-body?

I have found 15x6" steel wheels from 2 vendors, but the backspacing is listed as 3.75" for one and 4" for the other. Which is correct, if any?

Thank you.

I can't answer your question but the wheels shown from speciality wheel appear to have 10 holes.

Just a point of info.

Yeah, I saw that, but I figured that area would be covered up by the dog dish hubcaps anyways.

If you are getting repro, why not go with the more common 15x7 size?

I got mine form Summit last year 15x7 with 4" BS

Even though I am getting reproduction, I would still prefer to have the original 15x6 so that the stock tire fits as originally intended.

i have the 15x6-3 3/4" backspace summit wheels on my 69 coronet and they fit just fine. i think the originals had the 4" backspace. i'm sure your o.k. either way you go.
