Wheel question

There has been alot of questions on here about wheels for the F1's. My question is I'm running the original drive train in my truck. I'm taking the original 16" wheels off and going to a 15" wheel. Maybe a smoothy type wheel or a weld racing wheel. I want a 7" up front and a 8" in the back. So I need to now what the backspacing is I need for the rear wheel. Can any one help me out on this. My truck is a 51 F1. I know my bolt patteren is 5x5.5, so any help would be great. Thanks Scott

I run 6" wide front rims with 3" BS and 8.5 wide with 3.5 BS on the rear of my 56. I should think 3" BS would work well on your F1.
