Hi, I'm looking for information on what backspacing would be recommended for big bolt pattern 15x8 wheel with off set shackles,and largest tire without cutting metal. Thanks.
 
You might include which axle you are running as that will affect what backspacing you would need. I have a B body axle in my 67 with the offset shackles and about the largest tire I'm comfortable running is a 255 section width. I did have to trim/roll the fender lips on the inside of the wheel opening though. I run some moderately large offset wheels to make it work (they are meant for a front wheel drive car), but they keep the tire pretty well centered in the opening with the axle I have. With a stock axle I imagine you'd be closer to neutral backspacing, but I don't know the numbers off the top of my head.
