      Max backspace for 70 Chevelle front wheels 18x10

      Interested in buying a set of wheels but my Chevelle is completely torn down for powder coating and paint and body work. Not concerned about the rears they will fit without issue but the front is an 18x10 with a 6.1 backspace. I have all chassis work suspension with the upper and lower tubular a-arms and sway bars. Anybody have any idea? Any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance.

      That wheels should work fine, but a lot depends on the planned tire size.

      Ok thank you Andrew...it looks like from what I found an 18x9.5 with a 6.0 BS on a 275/35/18 works with tubular A arms 68-72. So it looks like I should be ok since I'm not trying to run like a 305 or anything...thank you for your help.

      That's pretty much the setup on the front of my 70 GTO
