Needing to know if a 15x8 wheel with 4 1/2 inch backspace will work with a A Body 10 bolt in my regal.
 
What year A-body rearend is it? The 64-67 and 68-72 have different widths. The 68-72 are ~62" flange to flange and the 64-67 are ~60". Stock g-body is ~58". If you have the 68-72 the wheels will stick out. Most people reccomend a 5.5" backspacing for an 8" rim
 
I have the '69 Chevelle 12 bolt rear in my car.....running the 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing and a 275-60-15 tire....YOu might want the 275-50-15 tire though...... some guys are getting rub issues with the 60 series tire. 4.5 backspace and you'll be fine...5.5 is a lil close for me 8)
 
I found a nice set of back wheels for cheap and i dont have the rear in it yet and just didnt want to buy a set of wheels that wouldnt fit. Just dont want the wheels to stick out or nothing like that. Thanks for your info
