7" Wheels on '48 F1?
Does anyone know whether I can put 15x7" wheels with 3 3/4" backspacing on my '48 F1? Thanks!

I just posted on Bonusbuilt but I'll answer it here just in case.........

I don't see why you can't. I run 16x7" on my 48 F1 and have almost 1 1/2" of clearance between the rim and the drum. With 15's you should still have almost 1" free.
