rim size
I am trying to buy a new set of rims for my 70 chey=vy C/10 with 72 spindles and rotors on the frount. I am looking at coker rims. Smoothie is my choice but my truck is apart and the mesurements that I am concidering is 15/8 with a 3 1/4 inch back spacing. the tire is 255/60. Will these fill the bill on my retro old skool truck and clear the fenders. Thank you

i think the backspacing would be better at 4 1/2 that's what i have and they fit real good with the3 backspace the tire would be outside the wheelwell and could hit the fender arch on bumps
