    What are your guys suggestions on Aluminum wheel i have a 1973 ford maverick with an 8" rear end with the 5 lug pattern...im looking for both front skinnies and rear wheels on the back i have been running 26 11.5 M/T et streets. If you guys could help me out with figuring out backspacing and all those details it would be great.

    And just for an update the car is running real strong and i just clinched Infineon raceways high school class.... thank you everyone that has helped us out immensely with configuring the car

    Those are 14x 10. My fronts are 14x 8. I know you want skinnies, but just thought I would share a look.
    If I knew where to measure I could do that, they fit with no problem.
