5" Backspacing

[Cincy Kid]

Does anyone know if you can purchase the Chrome Magnum 500 Wheels in a 15" x 8" with a 5" backspacing?

Thats a lot of back spacing. May have leaf spring clearance issues unless you've moved them in-board. I'm assuming these are for the rear? I'm running 8" w/4.5 back spacing all around and there's less than an inch of clearance between the side wall and the springs that are in stock location.

As far as I know, they're only available with 4 1/4 backspacing. But you could have a shop like Stockton wheels change the backspacing for you.

I have 15” x 8” w/ 5” backspacing on my black steel wheels, & have over an inch to my leaf springs (275/60/15 tires). So I know the spacing will work, currently have 2 sets of wheels & the Magnum 500’s have 4-1/2” BS (275/60/15 tires won’t fit) Running 255/60/15 tires now. Want to put 275 width on the Magnum 500’s but they rub o/s wheel well even after turning the trim

Yea, Ma Mopar didn't make it easy to put a good sized set of tires on the 66-67 B Body's

Bummer. Wonder who would be the go to place to get the backspacing changed or wheels widened?

That sucks about Stockton closing their doors. They made me a pair of 15x8 5" backspaced steel wheel several years ago.
