I took a quick look but it looks about 4 inches of back spacing.

Dan I sent you the information. How about 215/65/15 fronts and 235/60/15 drag radials on the back? Would the rears be too wide for a 6" wide wheel? I know Joe runs a 275 or 295 50 series TA with 15"x7" wheels on the back of his silver 1969 SS350 Nova and you just can not beat the look.

I went with a 235x15 on my Strippers when they were on my old '70 Camaro. The wheel wells on a second generation Camaro are more accommodating than Nova wheel wells but nonetheless, the 235 is a skinny tire.
