I am looking for some help on deciding if a set of Bassett DOT wheels will fit on my car.
http://www.bassettwheel.com/dot.html
My car is lowered about 1.5 inches all around.
I have 14x7s on it now.
If you look at the backspace options, I am thinking that the 15x7s with the 3.625 backspace would not work (not enough backspace) and I would need to go with the 15x8s with the 4.5 backspace.
What do you guys think I should go with?
I understand that tire size will help me get clearance but I do not want to run too low of profile tires.
I am looking for more of a 1970's Trans Am racing look without paying $1000 for a set of Mini-Lites knock offs. (I am not trying to be a poser. I am doing some upgrades to run it a few times at the track this summer.)
Replies welcome (except from SilverBlue"Big Poser" and 70_Fastback).
Thanks.
