My plan is to run some 15x10's out back on my 67 cpe. the front will be lowered an inch and the back raised an inch. Anyone have pics of how some 15x10's look? I don't want them to stick out and I am afraid without tubing the rear this will happen. Just love the look fo the fat tires sitting out back.

Here are a couple of shots of my '70 fastback w/ 15x10s on the rear. The wheel well lips were rolled to allow for the tires and the rear springs are stock height. They don't rub at all. Hope this helps.

I don't honestly know, the wheels were on the car when I bought it. I'll see if I can measure it for you.

15x10's you really need about 6.8 in of back space. I ran 7 in and it cleared. I threw a small spacer in to make me feel a little more comfortable because they were close. Mine is a 67.

I measured the offset of my wheels and there is no offset. I measure 5" from the wheel face to the outer edge and 5" from the face to the inner edge. I'm not using any spacers and again, no rubbing although I've got a '70 not a '67 so I don't know for sure if you will have the same results. Hope this helps!

Bear in mind that my well lips were rolled so I'm assuming that my 15"x10" wheels w/ 295/60s would probably rub otherwise.

I'd definitely use a roller or have a professional do it. Whoever did mine glassed them and did a good job but being glass, one of them has a hairline crack . Eventually when I redo the body I'll get new quarters and do them right.
