67 Skylark Biggest 15" Wheel and Back Spacing???

[at2holmes]

I want to run 275 or 285 rear tire on my Skylark and am going to order a set of 15" rally's from wheel speciality's. What backspacing should I use for a good fit and look?
Thanks for the help,
Steve

Had a set of steel wheels custom made out in CA, cost me about $200. They were 15x8 with 5-1/8" bs.
They fit my 67 very well and looked great with 275/60/15.

Always measure your car carefully before you buy wheels, each car is slightly different and most rear axle housings become slightly offset left or right over time.

Have fun, and Good Luck!
