What backspacing works for the factory drum cars? Need to see some pics. 4.25 BS will work? My car seems low in the back maybe sagging springs not sure replacing shocks soon to see if that makes a difference.
Who has a 69 RR with 255 60-15 wheels and tires?

The wheels I want are what you have dog, mag 500's with 4.25 so if they fit your 70 they should fit my 69 right? I just measured from leaf spring to the fender well lip and got almost 12" of width more than that for the front. So sounds like it will work just don't want to click buy and have fitment issues

How is the ride with those 255's? I might have to get shackles too get that rear up if my new shocks don't do it.

Love the look of the wheel and tire widths and stance!
Can you please tell us what the front tire size is?
Also can you please tell us what wheel widths you are running on front and back?
Would like to also see a side view shot of your car if you have it. Thanks.
You still there Santa?

Yea Santas' still here.Tires in front are 215/70/15 and rim width are 15x6 in front and 15x8 in rear.
this thread must have gotten away from me BIGMAN. to answer your question, it rides like a cadillac. dont hesitate to put them on your 69 if ya havent already, i know this thread is kinda old!
Cool, thanks. That's the tire sizes I have but I currently am running 7" wheels up front and was debating on getting 6" instead. You just solved my dilemma.
Sorry for the slight hijack!

I have a pair of 255-60-15's holding up my 69 RR now and they look good. The steelies are custom made with a BS of 4-3/8". I asked for 4.5 but didn't end up that way. I don't have pics here but will post later.
