Re: About to order wheels for my 67, backspacing?
Just an update for if it helps anyone in the future. Currie sells two width crate rear ends. I have the 67-70early 62-1/8" wide one (late 70-72 crate rear is 63-5/8 wide between mounting surfaces), otherwise I would probably be spot on in the backspace ridler offers for these with 5x5 pattern. I'm going to machine some 3/4" spacers and it should give me about 1/2" inner wheel well clearance per side. That would put me exactly 63 5/8" anyway, so numbers work out fine. I wish I could have gotten a 4.75" backspace instead and gotten a little more dish in the rear, but these will do fine until I order some forgelines later in the build.
I like them. I'm back and forth on if I should go with a 35 AR rear tire instead of a 40, but it's fine for now. I had 18x8 up front and 19x10 rear before, so the front looks quite a bit bigger.
Final sizes are: Ridler 695 series 20x8.5 4.75" backspace with 245/45r20 up front, 20x10 5.5" backspace with 295/40r20 in rear (nitto 555)
