Offset question

[Zipppo 11]

Will a 15x8.5 wheel with a 5.5" backspacing and a 275/60/15 tire fit under the rear 69-70 Mustang with no rubbing?

 

Thanks

It should fit.

We had the same rim and tire combo under a friends mustang with no fender rolls, BUT if you hit hard bumps you would get some rubbing, or if you had 2 ppl in the back seat lol

Cool. Odd how they are described 15x8.5 with 1.25 positive offset. I figured 0 offset would be 4.25 then the plus 1.25 would be the center line out towards the face or outer direction of the wheel so a total of 1.25+4.25 for 5.5 back from the inner lip of the wheel and 3 from the outer lip to hub?

 

So they should fit then correct aside from a hard dip or yes two in the back seat LOL yeah right maybe 7 years old and younger.

what wheels/tires are you considering? That sounds like a great size for the rear! I'm hell-bent on keeping raised white-lettering on the tires, so I figured I'd be sticking with 15's.

Here they are.

Rear 15x8.5 with 5.5 backspacing 275/60/15 and front 15x6 0 offset 215/65/15.

Tires are brand new and came with lug nuts and locks.

Have you measured the BS yet? They look deep for 5.5 bs.

Maybe correct term is offset. They were on a 69 Mustang and fit perfectly.
