Default More Tire and Wheel Questions

I have a specific size question. Is anyone running 15x8 with a 4.25 backspace on the front and rear on a 67? I’m wanting to run 255 60 rear and not sure on front yet.
I w read the 67 rear is 1” wider and the cars still has its correct rearend.
Thanks

Here are some pics with 245/60 on the rear and 235/60 on the front

any wider on the front will be a problem as I have to be careful when turning into a driveway (for my car anyways)

Are these 4.25” backspace and 15x8?

Hey Ponchjoe,

I am not 100% sure, sorry, as I put them on so long ago, but I believe they are the 15x8's.

Hope the pics help

Still looking for help with a 67 using a 15x8 and 4.25 backspacing. Since the rear is 1” wider can you 255 60 without modifying the wheel lip?
Thanks

I’ll be in the same boat soon - thinking about buying this wheel/tire measurement tool:
