    I was wondering will the 15x10 Cragar "Chrome soft 8" rims with 4 inch backspacing fit on the back of the Maverick?

    So does less backspacing mean a deeper dish rim?

    Backspacing is the distance from the face of the hub/rotor to the inside of the wheel. Less backspacing will put the wheel further from the center of the car and make it stick out more. More backspacing will put the wheel closer to the center of the car and consequently the leafspring. I'm not sure what you mean by "deeper dish" but less backspacing puts the mounting plane closer to the back of the wheel so that would make the wheel look deeper from the outside if that's what you're asking.

    I got some 10" Cragar S/S rims but no tires. Don't know what size to get or how to ask.
