anyone ever heard of such a monster? in putting an M-body 8.25 axle in my early-a, and it has .72 inches approx more per side than an a-body axle. im trying not to go the shorten-the-axle route if i can. I do know that a 15x7 with 4 inch backspacing fits like a glove on factory setups, so i could probably get away with a 4.5 inch backspace. Point in question, does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes such a thing? or someone who could build something like this? Im evidently not very savvy on finding anything as of yet....

I think you just described the weld draglite wheels I have for sale!
 
A 15 x 6 , five lug Dakota.wheel will.get you close , it has a lot of backspace , and the center could be.cut out and put in a 7 or 8 inch band to make exactly.the.wheel.you need .
 
awe right on! i did not know factory wheels were 4 3/8 muchly appreciated! these shenanigans wont happen until next spring but im trying to get my ducks in a row before i start digging into everything. I dont like suprises haha

I always measure 4 1/4" backspacing on 15x7 mopar steel rims including cop vented rims, original 15x7 rallye rims, and 15x7 steel rims. It's the generally accepted measurement.
 
nice! i have a full set of cop car rims (15 inch) from the 87 fury. hopefully it will all fall together. these are the rims i have.
