Reverse offset?

[65Special]

Maybe i'm just having a brain fart but what does reverse offset mean? I want to put 15x10 Cragars on the back of my '65 Special to replace the 15x7 Cragars that are on it. Jegs has them and it says 15x10 Reverse Offset with 3 3/4" of backspacing. Will these tuck or will they be sticking out? Any help is appreciated!

[LOLO]

They will stick out to much. I have a 66 rear in my 64 skylark project its 1 inch wider than the original 64 rear. To fit a 10 inch wide rim I needed 6 inches of backspace the fit is tight you need to know which size tire you want to run as well. You might want to look at some rims with 5 to 5 1/2 inches of backspace. But measure first before you buy anything.

Reverse offset means the offset is more to the out side than the inside, making the wheel deep dish and not usable on most stock vehicles. 5.5" bs is a good bs for a 10" rim on most cars.

yeah i came across the reverse off set problem too...the only way to make it work was make up for almost 6 inches in height. dont worry i didnt even try, i sent the rims back!!! :Dou:
