I want to order up some chrome "oe" style wheel vintuque wheels. I am thinking 15 x 7 right? what about back spacing? I would like to go 8 and have some more wheel hanging towards the bed. Anybody got any insight here. Thanks

I's suggest 7's in the front, but you can actually go 10's in the back depending on tire selection. Cou-gar here in Houston has 10's in the rear with 2.75/60-15's and they fill up the wheel well and don't rub.
Kind of helps your twin I not look so much like it has polio.
I have the Wheel Vintique reversed rims and I'm going 8's all the way around with 2.65/70-15's in the back and 2.25/70-15's in the front. Standard backspacing works.
I have the skinnies on the front because I don't have power steering (I have a manly straight axle 62 truck) and I'm just not as young as I used to be.
Just my dos centavos worth.
