hey guys, its bout time for me to put on some new shoes, so tell me if this will work: 235/60-15 on 15x8 up front, and 295/50-15 on 15x10 in rear, BF Goodrich on cragar SS wheels. now what i was gona ask you guys, will this combo work in the sense of fitment, looks, etc? the backspacing on the wheels is 4.25, i think my elky can do up to 4.5? but will a 295 fit snug in that wheelwell?

I really doubt that you can put 15 X 10 on it if you do, you'll be hanging out the back on ether side if you manage to get them in the wheel well. If you shave the rear you probably could. 4" of backspacing is really close for an Elky, 4.25 is really close and 4.5" is a possible rub, I'll even say probably will rub. 4" upfront is maximum in my books. You really need to check that fitment before you buy the rims. Some places will let you some wont. You can measure your dimensions. Billet Specialities has a measuring guid for determinung the backspacing, and things like that.

Look at it you can download it and use it.
I think the SS Wheels look great on that year model or most any year model they are a classic wheel and one of the time.
