Thanks,

I am having the same problem with my 65 Fastback GT350 Clone.
I need to find out what the dimensions are for the max sized rims i can put on the back,
I have currently got a set of Vintage wheels PIn drives, (replica hallibrand knock-on) which are too wide and stick out from under the body. about 2 inches
I do not wish to roll the fenders or narrow the rear end.
does anyone out there know what the max backspacing and then width of wheel is that i can go to, to have them fit under the fenders still..........i have the standard vintage wheel 7.5x 15 inch at the front , i would like to go with a 9.5x 15 at the rear, is this possible?? and if so what offset and or backspacing will i need.
bear in mind that i am running the pin drive adaptors too.
SUMONE HELP

the max you can run on the rear of your car, without modifying the inner wheel well area or rolling the fender well is a 8.5 wide rim with a 5" backspacing. hope this will help.
