    Hey just got back from rear leafs from new jersey that got a 1" lift added...anyways....

    I was wondering if 15X8 5-4.5 6B size wheels would fit alright with 275-60/15's tires on the rear with a added one inch lift? Thanks!!! This is going to be the rear rim...

    also would 15X7 5-4.5 6B's fit on 225-60/15's tires? looking at these for the front with stock from suspension...

    I don't know about the 6b. You probably need to ask when ordering the wheels what the back spacing is. I'm running 15 x8 's with 6 inch backspacing on mine with 255/60/15 on the rear and 215/60/15 on the front without any problems at all, but what fits one car might not work on another. Some guys run 275/60's without any problems, some can't fit anything larger than a 255/60. These cars ran down an assembly line in different plants, and quality wasn't always job 1 back in those days......

    BTW ... Love those wheels. Not too flashy, kind on subtle

    I'm running 225/55/16 with 4 1/4 BS and 255/50/16 with 4 1/2 BS Magnum 500's with BF Goodrich G Force tires

    The "6B" reference might be referring to backspace or offset. I would call them first and ask before ordering. Looks like they might be a 4 1/2 BS

    The "6" might be the offset they're talking about
