1969 Beaumont Rear Rim Size


Hey Guys I am just getting ready to order my Cragar Rims from Jegs and I wanted to know about rim size and backspacing. I am going to run 15'x6 inch on the fronts with  6 mm offset and 3.25" Rear spacing. I would like to run either an 15x8" on the rear or better yet a 15x10 "  Rears , the spec sheet says the 15X8 " 6mm offset with 4.25 " rear spacing and the 15X10 are 32mm offset with 4.25 " rear spacing. Can I run these 15X10s on the back without scuffing the wheelwells ??? I dont want to start shaving rear fenders or modifing the car to make them fit, if they are going to cause me grief I will just go with the 15X8 on the rear.      Thanks Guys

Thanks for the heads up, I think I will stick with the 15X8s on the back.
