I am mocking up for tires,wheels,rear width. Here is what I believe I want. Please chime in if it doesn't sound right.
8 3/4, offset hangers, 4.5 bs 15 x7 cop wheel, shorten housing sperch to end by 1", perches moved for new hanger 1.5"
255/60-15 tires.
They look like it should work,If I go to a 15 x 8 4.5 bs will the tire still fit??
American racing only makes slots 15x7 4"bs or 15 x8 4.5"bs

Joe I take it you're running the 4.5 pattern? Foose legend rims I beleive come in a 5.8 back space in a 17 x 8.
