On a 67 cuda, what would be the best bs and width on a stock width 8 3/4 rear, springs on stock position. Running a +1 caltrac spring and their traction system. This is a track only car
This car had 15 x 7 Auto Drags with the 3 5/16 backspace and 28 x 9 MT slicks. They hugged the lip of the quarter a little too close and didn't let me drop it down much. I had a choice of the 3 5/16 bs and 4 7/8...in hindsight I should have done the 4 7/8 and clearanced the inner wheel tub or even run a small spacer.
So I would say ideally you want a 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 backspace and a 15 x 7 or 15 x 8 wheel. 15 x 8 with 4 1/2 bs would probably be perfect.

Must have been some hidden rust ! ?????It's dead unfortunately. Sold it in '95 to a guy who put the engine in his Challenger, and the rest got parted out. Last I heard the empty shell is somewhere in the sandhills of NE.
Another kick a$$ car ! Like it . I have stated this before, but I have 295 65 15 drag radials on my 68 fastback, w/ 3/4" offset hangars and rolled lips.

that's BAD. MUSTA BEEN A CHEVY GUY !!No it was typical rust, very repairable. The guy that bought it was notorious for destroying cars...I really shouldn't have sold it to him. But hindsight is 20/20 and all that.
