      Rear/Back Spacing for a 1968 Camaro

      I have a 1968 Camaro and Im putting on a new set of Centerline rims. I had 15x4 and Im going to 15x7 (for the front tires). I need to know what backspacing I should have if I should have 4-7/8" or 3-5/16" and this is for the front tires only Im not changing the rear ones.

      4 7/8 shuld do fine. we usually run 4 1/2 - 5" with no problems.

      Ok thanks....what would be the difference if I used the smaller size? The guy at Jegs said that 4 7/8" may rub but is there any downsides to 3 5/16"

      yeah, rubbing on the fender side... thats the no good side. Can yo get your hands on a mock up rim? Friend perhaps?
