OK so I want to order new tires and rims for my 69 Satellite. I have been restoring it for 10 months and now getting to the fun stuff namely the wheels and tires!

I have settled on Cooper Cobra GT's
235/60R15 and 295/50R15

I want old school Cragar SS mags or maybe Magnun 500's haven't decided yet.

My bolt pattern is 5 X 4.50 and thats all I know

My question is when ordering what backspacing and offset do I want? I have read all about both and it is still confusing to me a little I don't want to order and it be the wrong size and they i have to go to all the hassle to return.

I guess what is the normal garden variety measurements for a B body mopar? Also what is the center bore for a 69 Satellite.

Also is a 10" wide rim wide enough for a 295/50?15?

Sorry if these are simple questions but I am coming from a motorcycle background and this is my first car build.
 
10 inch is fine for 295...some squeeze them on a stock 8 inch
