70 chevelle backspacing

[beach70]

Anyone know the max backspacing I can go on a 70 chevelle.
I want to run a 19x10 wheel and 285/35/19 tire.
stock rear suspension except 1 inch hotchkis lowering springs

Thanks in advance

I have Rushforths 18x10 with 5.5 back spacing and 305/35/18's on it.

Brans72: I remember doing a 5.75", on yours, and MuscleCarJohn's, and others. On the 19x10 set up that you are going for, with that short tire, you'll get away with 5.5-6". Its when going with the taller tires that you have to be a little more precise. Let us know if we can help any further.

That is correct Jon,we did 5.75" in the rear and 5.5" in front being that my car still retains all the original wheelhouse mouldings and I didn't want to cut them.6" would have had me rubbing on the inside and would have required shimming them outward...again,on my particular car.These are 18x9's & 18x10's:

I had 5.5 BS with my 19x10 C6 wheels with a bit of rubbing on the fender lip. New adapters will give me 6.0 BS and should be perfect.

You already knew that from my other thread,though...LOL

[beach70]

Yes, your original post was what made me think of C6 wheels.
I love them on your car.
I'm in the process of buying a set of polished 5 spokes like your painted ones

Cool...I love the way they look too,sort of a new twist on an old-school look.

I dig the painted centers they kinda give the same vibe as the 71, 72 chevelle ss wheels
very very nice!!

[beach70]

Thanks for the help. The polished C6 wheels are on the way.

[bochnak]

What kind of wheels are on that red 70'? Finish?

My buddy has a 71 and looking for a set. Would they clear C6 brakes?

Matt, I believe they are Bonspeed Huntingtons. With a Charcoal grey powder coat.
If your looking for a set we would be happy to give you a quote on a set.
