I am interested in putting something like a Cragar Smoothie on my car. Don't think SS would really suite this car.

Does anyone know what backspacing I should be looking for?

You want the offset as close to neutral as possible. In other words, for a 7" wide rim, around 3 1/2" b.s. 8" wide rim, 4" b.s.

I am looking at the following wheel.

Cragar #260-313-5753P
313 Series Smoothie Chrome Wheel
Size: 15'' x 7''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 5'', 5-1/2''
Rear Spacing: 4-1/8''

I would think that should be OK. It'll pull the wheels in a bit which is good for fenderskirt clearance in the rear. My only concern is for the front. My 235/70-15's on 6" wide rims rub the inner fenders lightly on full-lock turns. What size tires are you plannning to use?
