Wheel Question

[JOHNWOJO]

Anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a 15x8 wheel with 5" backspace. Need a pair for the back of the 81. I have prostars on the front. Tried the 5 1/2" backspace wheels off of the 79 but they are abbout 1/4" from frame with about an inch of clearence from fender lip. I dont think prostar sells them i checked there site. Thanx John

i used a 5 1/2 inch backspace on my welds and a 1/4" spacer, the wheel sits absolutely perfect in the wheel well. 5" i think is too much.

I thought of the same thing... Use a spacer???

I can't find any applications in your specs, other than import wheels with 5X100mm lug pattern...

thanx guys. the rear in the 81 is a 66 chevelle 12 bolt and the one in the 79 is a 72 chevelle rear. I will pick up some spacers.
