Give this any problems?

[sjanbob]

Hi,

Give four 'WG' rims (repo) 15xj7 4.0 backspace with 245/60/r15 BFGoodrich tires any problems under a '70 GS350?

And how about rear with 15xj8 5.0 backspace with 295/50/r15 BFGoodrich tires?

It's for my original '70 GS350.
I want to change my 14 inch Ralley wheels to something bigger and won't any problems with rubbing or swaying.
Have somebody experiences with the wheels setup from above? And what is better?

Thanks!

Shouldn't be a problem. I have 255/60-15 on 15 X 7" wheels (4.25" B.S.), and 275/60-15 on 15 X 8" wheels (4.50" B.S.) with no issues at all.

Ok thanks,

But is this a good combination of backspacing if i place
15xj7 4.0 backspace with 245/60/r15 BFGoodrich at the front and
15xj8 5.0 backspace with 295/50/r15 BFGoodrich tires at the rear?

I mean are front and rear wheels, around on the same track line?

No, but why should that matter at all?

[sjanbob]

It should looking strange if the front track is more wide than the rear track.

But is the combination good?

It won't look strange, you won't be able to see it at all. Lots of guys run wider tires at the rear. The difference in the section width of your tires is 295mm-245mm=55mm, a little over 2 inches. You have 1" more backspacing at the rear. It should be close to perfect.

Ok, I understand what you mean.
Thanks Larry!

Have somebody pictures of this setup?
