Wheel Size help? Empty Wheel Size help?

Post by Oidar Thu Oct 02, 2008 4:41 pm

My car is a 74 Laguna and I have P275/60/R15 on the rear and P255/60/R15 on the front all currently mounted on stock 7" Rally Wheels.

Question is, what's the W I D E S T wheel I can use with these tires without having to tub the rearend or cut fender wells?

Also, what back spacing do I need?

15x10 with a 5.5" backspacing should fit and tuck up nicely

you could get 8" on the front no problem... Those pics of the cragar SS's on the green malibu has the 275/60/15 tires on them but the backspacing is only 4" so it doesnt tuck up in the wheel wells.
