Back in the 1980s we ran 235/60R15 Eagle STs on 71-72 Chevelle SS steel 5-spoke 15x7 wheels (all 4 corners) on a stock ride height '69 Chevelle. They fit with plenty of room and never rubbed anywhere on a daily driven car. I think those Chevelle / Z28 15x7s had 4.25&quot; backspace, but I am not 100% sure. Hope this helps.

Checked the wheels and they are 3 3/4 backspace, so maybe I will have to have a tire mounted to do a physical check for clearance.

Car is being readied for some touch up work on the roof where the clear-coat had peeled, so have to paint that area, then clear the whole roof and part of both quarters.

Sure hope you can get that paint to match and lay down like the original -- can wind up being a pain in the south end! TAZ
