I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of custom wheels and want to confirm backspacing and center bore for hub centric ring on a 1974 car. I will be running fat 205/50/15 Hoosiers on the wheels.
I will be having 15x7" wheels made with 4 lug 4x130mm bolt pattern. Back spacing specs: I have heard everything from 4.25" to 5" for backspacing for 15x7 wheels. I'm not afraid of bending my fenders a bit to make things fit and I like the idea of a little wider track. Would 4 1/2" back spacing be enough for somone who has rolled fenders? I have lots of room now with rolled fenders and my 205/50/15 tires on 5.5" Fuchs - easily 2 to 3 inches I do have centering ring on my front hub. Mueller provided dimensions of 78.60 mm x 15 mm which looks about right using my tape measurer. If I make an error I want to make sure its making this bore too big. I appreciate everyones feedback. |

I forgot, I also have one 15x7 steel wheel (no tire) that fits under the stock fenders (it's one of the rims that Jenny has on her car now).....this way you could mount the specific tire you have in mind to get a better fitment idea......
