I am looking to replace the 14x10 Crager SS rims on the rear of my 1973 Dodge Charger, due to the fact that replacement tires for that size rim are no longer available. I am looking to acquire a set of 15x10 Crager SS to match the front 14x7s. I have found several pairs on Craigslist and all of them have the same backspacing of 3.75. Will these fit INSIDE my wheelwells unlike the 14x10s the previous owner put on which stick out a good 2-3 inches past the fender lip, which looks quite tacky but since it gave me plenty of rubber out back (295-60-14) I just ignored it till now.I cannot afford custom rims my budget is $300. max. for the pair.Its just a daily driver so there's no point in tubbing it and while moving the leaf springs inward isn't a bad mod I don't have the skill necessary nor the $$$ for the kit.So will 3.75 backspace work or will I have to hunt for some elusive craigslist gem with some deeper backspace.Any info you guys can provide is welcome.
 
You will need more backspace than that. Probably more like 5.5's if the wheelhouses are anything like my 69 Charger.
