custom wheel fitment help.

[65fury4dr]

hello all. I am wondering if i bought a set of custom made wheels from daimond racing wheels 15x8 what would be the best offset for the rear. im wanting the deep welled look at stock suspension height. Im probably going to be running cooper cobra tires or bfgoodrich i want then to fit in the stock fender as wide and tall as i can get them. thank you.

wheel skirts or no wheel skirts ?

From what I understand with a 15x8 standard 4" backspace will fit. But with skirts I can't say for sure, thought I'd think 3" BS should work. Hell most of these cars have close to 10-12" of wheelwell space to work with.

Stuck 1 of my old 15x8 4" bs with 275/60x15 on the back of the 71 wagon, fills the fender well nicely, not sure quite how well it will handle body roll but will see

smartest thing you could do is bring your car down to your favourite car / wheel guy and have him figure it out. order the wheels and tires from him and if there is a fitment problem then it is his problem. a no brainer , plus you give your local guy the work and maybe have a good working relationship. make sense?

15x8 with 4.25 bs wheels on 275/60 15 are fine on my Fury. 3/4 to 1" clearance.

Thanks for the info everyone i decided on 15x8 steel vintique smoothies with 4" bs from summit $139 for a pair, couldnt pass it up and ill go with 275 60 15 as you suggested in either cooper cobra or bfgoodrich wich ever is cheaper lol.
