cragar ss wheels
in the near future i am planning to run Cragar SS five spokes on my 67 bump. it is lowered with a DJM 3-4 inch beams and DJM rear axle drop brackets and their rear shackles. i am wanting to use 15x7 on the front and 15x8 on the back. if it matters i am using drum brakes on all four corners.has anybody used this setup.? what should my backspacing be.? the tires i will be using are going to be close to stock size. not a big fan of big wheels. thanks for any help with this.

Backspacing should be four inches for 15x7 and 15x8.
I'm running DJM beams and a Fatman axle flip for a 3/5 drop with the same wheel sizing yer thinking of.
Front is 225/70-15 and rear is 275/60-15. The different sizes (and contact patch!) still equates to about a 28-inch tall tires.
If I were to do it again, I'd go with 235/60-15s in the front for a lil rake. Mine sits dead level.
