I'm in the process of buying wheels for my car and I need some info on who I can order a set from. I have a 69 Road Runner that has mini tubs, so I need someone to make me a set with a lot of back spacing. I'm open to most brands, I just need some info on who to call. Thanks, Bobby.

Depending on what style wheel you want, many manufacturers will do custom offsets:
Steel = Wheels Vintique
Aluminum = American has a "custom shop"; pretty sure Weld, Centerline, and others will as well. If 5.5" BS will get it done for you, several companies stock that BS.

Been a few years but I heard good on Stockton wheels (stockton Calif I would assume).

Best deal on mine was through Summit, who helped me with backspacing options...

Most 2 piece wheel should be able to get sourced in different back spacings..


Other option, depending on what style you want, if you find a deal on a set of them used, etc in the right style but wrong back spacing, just have them cut apart and changed.

Most 2 piece wheel manufacturers will make backspace to order. American Racing did a set of customs for me. You fill out a form and allow a couple extra weeks to get the wheels.

Goes withiout saying, measure well first!

Did you have the leaf springs move from the stock locations? If not that will limit how wide rims, the offset and tires you can use
I'm pretty sure you can runs some 8.0 or 10.0 wide rims(with the proper back spacing) with some pretty wide tires with the stock leaf springs in the stock locations
I use help some people run a 1968 or 1969 Hemi GTX in NHRA stock class back(early 1970s) when we still had to run street type tires and non race aluminum weight wheels, we had a set of L60x15 M&H on a set of Cragar S/S chrome spoke wheels either 8 or 10 inches wide, CRS from the early 1970s disease

Thanks for the info guys, I looked at American Racing and couldn't decide on a wheel and Summit looks promising. I did move my leaf springs in with kit that requires cutting the frame, so according to my measurements I can use a 15" x 12" wheel with 8" of back spacing and Summit does have some Weld wheels with these measurements. And I am being cautious on my measuring cause it can be a costly mistake, don't ask me how I know.

You indirectly bought from Wheel Vintiques.

If I recall ( its been a while and I am OLD) I purchased EXACTLY what I wanted, they came with some special shipping price ( 9 bucks TOTAL, if I "remember" correctly ) and it seems as if it was 12 months NO interest...

Thanks to "whoever'.......

AS a side note, BOTH 8" wheels ( used 7" up front) had minute flaws that caused air leaks... One I caught within the first few months but the other was pretty old ( 5 or 6 years) before it was diagnosed and summit/American racing replaced them both NO PROBLEM...

Some Kudos for that....

Most modern 5x114 rims ([censored]-mustang) run on a +38mm offset - 1 1/2 inches, some are more, +40 - 44 seem to be regular sizes for the nissan boys

so at +38 a 12" would be 7 1/2" backspace and an 11 would be 7"

could be a nice "cheap" way of doing a mock up for sizing if you can find some cheapies on craigslist

[wow you cant say j a p lols]
