Hi Derrick,

Just last week I fitted new 15" Cragar's to my '62 Phoenix (RHD Dart). I
used 7" on the front and 8" wide on the back. The front has no offset
whereas the rears have 1/2" at the most. As a result I am running 255x75 on
the rear will loads of clearance. So I know I can wider if I want to - but I
wanted that old school drag racer look. Hope another perspective helps.

All the best for 2011.

Regards,

Hi All,

Can someone here tell me the largest safe size rim  (at 15"diameter) one can
put on the rear of a 67 Belvedere B Body?
I would have thought an 8" would be fine without modifications to the stock
set up.

If so, any experiences on specific backspacing to make them work?

Best to all on the holidays.,

Derrick
