I'm looking for a set of wheel for my 70's Satellite.

I want to go protouring (sorry, purist) and want 18 inch on the front and 19 inch on the rear. I was thinking about going 18x8 and 19x10. I don't want to do a mini tube.

What is the backspacing/offset that I need to not rub the leaf springs/fender?

What tire size do I need? I was thinking about using a 245/45/18 on the front and 295/35/19 on the rear.

Thanks for the help!
 
Would 6.4 backspacing be to much with a 19x10.5 wheel? Tire size will be 295/35/19
 
I have no idea. Look around here for simiar B body plymouths from 68-70 and see what everyone is running. Once you get a few together with the same suspension you have (stock I assume) you can play with the calculator to see where your backspacing needs to be.
 
I read that most of the people have 5.75 bs... I think anything above that would be to much...
 
You have to look at the height of the side wall. Check out a 15X10 with 5" of backspacing with 295/60/15 on it. Then compare that to a 18X10 with 5" of backspacing and a 325/35/18. With the shorter side wall you need less clerance to account for tire flex.
