    I have a 1970 GS and am looking at some Torq Thrust wheels. 15x7 on the front and 15x8 on the back. All the wheels are 3.75" Backspacing. I am wanting to run 245-255/60/15 tires on the front and 295/50/15 tires on the back. Anyone know if there would be any rubbing issues?
    thx

    295 tires prefer to be on a 10" wheel, w/ 5.5" backspacing. 8" will work but will need 4.5" b/s.

    7" on the front with 3.75 b/s is ok, 4" b/s is better
