I know this has been done so many time and there is plenty of info available searching the archives, but the wheels I want are an unusual size and backspacing. I am hoping someone here can help steer me in the right direction.
After a lot of searching this site and others, the rim tire combo I want to go with is 225-75-15 on 15x7 wheels in front and 275-60-15 on 15x8 for my 65 coronet 500. The suspension is all in the stock position, or close after a frame off restoration.
senior member ilm65 has a 65 satellite that is a perfect example what I'm looking for, and just a beautiful car.

this car is running 225-75-15 on 15x7 wheels in front and 275-60-15 on 15x8 with a 4" back space.
The rims I want to go with are the centerline auto drags, but they only come in unusual sizes.
The 15 x 7 only has a 3-5/16" BS or a 4-7/8" BS.
There is no 8" in rim width available, only a 81/2" width with either the 3-5/16" BS or a 4-7/8" BS.
I know going with another rim would make it easier, but the first B body I fell in love with on sight was a Black 1964 Sport Fury, and he was sporting a set of these centerlines. This was on my 17th birthday in 1986. I took the day off from school to get my license on on the soonest day possible, 17 in NJ. I was driving my 67 mustang fastback that I had spent two years getting running and fixed up, and was on my first legal drive in it, and saw the Fury, which made me realize settled on the wrong car. I have been in love with these early b bodies since then and have always envisioned my b body with these rims.
Sorry for the digression. Anyway any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated, especially if anyone is running these unusual backspacing or widths. I also live in a pretty remote area, with no wheel shops in the area, except for a Les Schwab, which don't deal with centerline. I pretty much have to go mail order on these.
Thanks in advance.
