15x10 Weld Alumastar 6" back space?

Is anyone running a 15x10 with a 6 inch backspace on their 68-72 Cutlass?

Just bought a set of 15x10 BS 6" Weld Aluma Stars that I will be running on my 72 Cutlass with a 295/65/15 Mickey ET Drag Radial.

I can always run a 1/4 or 1/2 wheel spacer to offset it to a 5.5" back space if needed.



Thanks

I have a 15x10 with 5" backspace. If I remember correctly I think there was plenty of room, I think you may be OK with 6".

5.5" bs

If I recall correctly Brian Trick has posted this numerous times on numerous wheel threads.


The only way to have a 15" by 10" rim on 70-72 A body Olds AND have it centered in the wheel house is with a 5.5" backspacing.


Brian can chime in if I am wrong.

Searched many of threads and no one mentions 6" BS not fitting. Plus a 15x10 BS 5" will fit as seen in my sig pic with a 12.1 sw
