Cliff.......what can I say......THANKS!!!! I understand it now!! The only question remaining is how do you determine the amount of backspacing you are going to need with a certain wheel and tire? Is there a calculation for this, common knowledge, or is it trial and error? I have a 69 Chevelle and want to put 285/40ZR17 on the rear and 255/45ZR17 on the front. The 69 Chevelle in the Chevelle Magazine used 17x8s w/4.75 bs for the front and 17x9.5s w/5.5 bs for the rear. Does this sound like this combination would fit under my stock 69? Let me hear from people that have put large tires and wheels like this on their Chevelle.
