Good morning. Does anyone know the factory backspacing for the rear of a 1971 El Camino? I currently have 235/70/15 mounted on 15 x 7 rallyes but I'm going to 275/60/15 on a 15 x 8 rallye. Wheel Vintiques makes the wheel in 4" and 4 1/2'. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
This post has been corrected to Backspacing, Not Offset. Thanks.
I used the search feature on factory AND backspacing Came up with several threads THIS ONE may be of help. Remember "Search is your friend" Hope this helps.

Thank you Jerry. Unfortunately when upgrading to a wider and taller wheel/tire combination, it sometimes throws a wrench in things. Thanks for the link.
