back spacing

Depending on how they rub, If they rub that is.
You may be able to put on a wheel spacer to fix your b/s, and that would allow for the tires to be rotated.
I know I had the problem before on a cutlass, the front rims rubed the lower control arm when the wheel was turned all the way, had to put in a spacer and fixed it,
I was running an old school set of aluminum american racing "slots" 14"x6" up front, 15"x10" out back, and yes they did fit, but it was tight, and it needed taller rear end snubbers to keep the body from bottoming out on the edge of the tire when you hit a hard bump. ( i am not sure of the back spacing, I would have to measure them)

Now as I said my wheels are aluminum, so the rim is a lot thicker then a steel wheel of course, so with steel wheels that may not be an issue.


Also a side note to everyone, If you liked the old school american racing slots. I have good news, American racing Has restarted productin of there old slots, but now there called the Ansen Sprint Slot mag wheel. Same rim but they dont seem to make the 14" version anymore more but they do show a 17" version now, At least thats what the shows, they may have more sizes
