Yeah, the Outlaw I would work with narrower tires. Seems like they would have to be about 1.5" narrower. As you say, you were running 235's on the rear of a '67 w/ Outlaw I 15x8s while others are saying that they are runing 275s easily on 15x8s with 4.5" backspace.

Luckily I will have a chance to see Tom Rightler's '70 on Sunday. I'm pretty sure he has 15" wheels.

This is pretty interesting:

Quoting Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I think the Outlaw I would work if you don't go overboard on the tire size.
I'd guess that any one-piece 15x8 wheel would have the same, or close,
offset/backspacing due to mass production.  You'd almost have to go with a
2-piece custom offset wheel to get the specs you desire.  Do you have an
idea of what your tire choice requires in the way of offset/backspacing?
