15X10 wide magnum 500's

A couple of the guys are running 15 x 10 Magnum 500s with 295/50R15s. Just need to insure the rims have at least 5" of backspacing to fit properly.

I'm running Cragar S/Ss (15x10 w/5.25" BS) with 295/50R15s and I'm here to say that not having the right amount of backspacing will cause issues. I originally ran 'off-the-shelf' Cragars with only 4.25" of backspacing, and tended to 'buzz' the wheel well openings when the suspension flexed too much (like every time I didn't creep over anything deeper than 2" in the road). A costly mistake to bite the bullet and order a new set of 15x10s with the custom backspacing needed to clear the wheel well openings.

Hopefully, Greg (Austin Vert) will jump in here with more information on his awesome '73 'vert.

I think Greg mentioned that only every now and then does he get a wheel well 'buzz' when driving quickly and not paying attention to dips and speed bumps and stuff.

For complete peace of mind, I'd go with Jeff's advice and get the ones with 5.5" backspacing.

Hey All.

Does anyone know if any mods are neccessary to install 15X10 magnum 500's on the rear of our 73 Mach 1 Q Code. and what size BFG TA tire i should run.

I'm hoping the response will be that i can just bolt them right up and they won't rub. lol.

New to this site and still trying to figure out how to use it. My puter not notifying me when someone responds to my thread.

Thank you

Hi Robby,

Another Forum member was asking about the same deal as you are. Here is a link to that post for your reference.

Thanks also Eric for your kind words above and using me as a reference - it's appreciated.
