Five-spoke American Racing 17″ wheels are mounted with 215/55 Mastercraft MC-440 tires up front and 235/55 Pantera Touring CUV A/S tires.

Backspacing not listed. Nor is rim width, but tire size max recommended rim width is ~8.5 inches - eyeballin' these suggests at least 7 inches.

1967 Newport

1968 Newport. (sorry - might be here, however, as Cragar S/S's are an old school staple that comes up a lot).

Only spec disclosed was 235/70-15's all around, eye-ballin 'em look like standard offset (~4.0 inches), and 7 inch width. If so, all should be fine with that combo in my experience.

Those rear wheels have the appearance of the 15x8 Ramcharger wheels, which have 4" BS.

agree, thats how it looks.

much deeper (more backspacing than that) my experience with that tire size in back you'll get interference. directly or if not by body roll.

maybe owner (@ATw) will see this and report the real deal.
