A reminder to all posters in this thread:
Please provide the 3 pieces of info requested in the original post, otherwise this archive thread that was started to help others see what fits and what doesn't starts to become useless. I see a lot of combos posted here that don't have any wheel backspacing info provided. This info is very important, you need to provide it to show what will work on the cars of other members looking in here to help them decide what to do for their own car. Please post pics and info gathered from your own car. |

Here is my '67 Tempest. It has 275/60-15 Cooper Cobra's on 15x8 wheels with 5.5" backspacing on the rear. 215/65-15 Cooper Cobra's on 15x7 wheels with 4.5" b.s. on the front. No engine/tranny in the car, it will sit pretty low. It is on Hotchkis front springs and Jeep TJ rear springs.
