Need your wheel suggestions please!!!
Friday night, we swapped over the Master Power rear disc brake kit that I recently bought off of Ebay. Everything went together pretty easily, and I am happy with the results. We still need to hook up the lines and emergency cables but you get the idea.
The car has been mini-tubbed and the springs relocated. I trimmed the quarter panel lip back to the edge of the stainless molding. I have a stock width A body rearend, although the rear rotors make it a little wider. I took the measurements using the following method...

I took the measurements, and did the math. In order to run a 15x10 inch wheel, I need to use 7 1/2 inches of backspace to center the wheel in the wheel well. That's where the problem comes in. The wheels that I planned on using don't come in that size!! I plan on stuffing a 325/50R15 tire in there, so the wheel has be centered almost exactly.
I spent a lot of time on Summit Racing's website yesterday (I had planned on using the 10% discount) and wasn't able to come up with much. What are my options for a 15X10 wheel with 7 1/2 inches of backspace?!? I know I can get custom steelies or rallye's made, but that wasn't the look I was going for. Suggestions?!?
