Thanks I have coil overs on all 4 corners. The tire is about .25" maybe over the bead.

What are yalls thoughts on the Black Weld S71 vs S77 on a Black/Red Striped Chevelle SS?

What size tire is on the wheel now? that doesn't make mathematical sense. should be more than that.

Right now its looking like 6" backspace, you will have to trim the quarter lip up to the spot welds. And gives you 1 1/2" to the well and 1/2" to the shock mounts.

I can't believe you haven't started an intro page with some pictures. Lets see some pictures.

adjusted for new currect BS
