    Hello, recently I ran across a new in the box Wheel vintiques 15x7 ralley wheel, 4.75 pattern and stamped jj. Ive measured the back space and its 4". I set up my cars rear end using stock 15x7 jj wheels and have very little room to be altering any spacings. Sold my original 15x7 rims before Christmas because their chrome was marginal, so now I dont have any of my old rims to bounce measurements off of as I could of swore all factory 15x7s 71 and up had 4 1/4 or 4 3/8 BS. But at this point I just dont remember. I looked through the archives and havent came up with the answer, so I thought Id just ask. Thanks

    The ones from Specialty Wheel have a 4.25" bs.
    I have several originals but would have to dig one out and measure it.

    Yeah, the original 15 x 7's had the 4 3/8" backspace. Even though the shoulder was wider on the 70 only (WG) rims the hubs were changed to a more recessed shape (in the black painted area) with the 71 and newer wheels so the backspacing remained the same.
