2 Questions about wheel size on 73 dart

[Cameron1038]

Hello!

This is my first post on this amazing forum

I have a 73 dart swinger. I have a B body 8 1/4 rear end for it.

I would like to put 15x8's on it.

I am guessing that 5" backspacing will do the trick on the back. Will that work?

Also, what backspacing will be appropriate for the front?

I had 235/60/15s in mind for the rear and 225/60/15s in mind for the front.

I would VERY much appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
Cameron

small world.... I'm the one who has been e-mailing you about the axle housing you have on craigslist. 8)

if it's a b body rear probably need more like a 5.5" or 6" back spacing, you'll definitely need to measure, not all the axles measure the same. I have a 4.5" bs in the front of mine.
