Gonna order some new custom rims for my 66 Fairlane. I put the crites rear spring relocation kit in. I have 15x10 with 6 in. backspacing on it now. So I know that part. I need to know about size for the 5 bolt pattern.I know I can tell them what car I have and they could look it up, but I want to know for myself. I want to order some craigers 5 spoke but with custom backspacing needed for back I'm gonna have to see about who and where I can get the right size rear wheel. I live on the west coast of canada and all local tire shops are telling me good luck, especially about craigers, not much help.Thank-you.

Have you thought of shortening the diff length? if you have already relocated the springs. i run 15x10 with a 3.75 in backspace if you shortened the diff to fit a 4.5 in backspace wheel the option of wheels you could fit is unlimited and off the shelf.

The Cragar custom shop will make you pretty much whatever back space and offset you want.
I have 15x12 Cragars with 3.5" backspace S/S wheels on the back of my Comet from the custom shop. You can even arrange your custom S/S wheels through Summit.

Hi Jb427. Just had to re-read your projects thread to see if you had moved your springs. I note you have but only by 1.3". Would love to see pics of how that was done if you don't mind some time.
And a pic of yesterdays lunchtime beach swim outing. Just 'cause pics are good.

id need to check lengths but what was done i move my springs around 35mm each side about half the frame rail it was then boxed. First time i had 5 in back space magnum 500's on and diff got cut as well then when i changed to 35 spline rear and changed wheels diff got shortened more i got some adjustable front coilover shocks due to turn up soon when i put them in i can get some pics and lengths of what i did.
