Deal breaker in my opinion, that size wheel needs at least 4.25" of backspace to even be useable on a classic Pontiac.

What were they thinking?

Those wheels will cause any decent size tire to rub the fenders, guaranteed.

Agree with that.....I liked the look of the old Keystone Klassic, but those also were not avail in the proper backspace, but similar to these Dazzlers. The old set I had would always rub the inside edge of the wheel well.

Frustrates the hell out of me..... I would have a set of Black Dazzlers on my car if they made proper offsets....

For the record, They are new repro tires and welded / re-drilled and restored wheels.
