Found some wheels and tires. They are 16x8 5 on 4.5 with 4" backspace. Tires are 195/50R16 on front and 235/70R16 on the back. My 66 cuda is all stock will they fit? I am doing a LBP conversion on the car disc brakes in front and 8 1/4 rear.
 
I am just wondering why no one will answer this ?. Please answer this question thanks
 
No, not enough backspacing. 4.5 would fly. 4" no way. Perfect backspacing on an 8" wheel is 4.75.
 
as far as the bolt pattern yes I will say yes they will fit as far as backspacing 4in will fit I have 3.5in back spacing on mine it is a 73 tho.

but you have a duster and the wheel you are running stick way out past the body.

He has a 66 cuda. tires are skirted by the 1/4
 
They will fit if you run a tire that has at most 8.9" section width.
 
What do mean by 8.9 section width? Ok So im selling the 16s this thread is about. My question now is what size tire should i get for my 15" steelies im stuck with now? Are the 15s gonna fit with no problems also? There were on a 74 Dart i bought for brakes and rearend. Thanks
