    Question rear wheel fitment

     



    I have a 65 Pontiac Tempest, same body as a GTO, for those not familiar. What is the best way to determine the proper wheel offset to give me more options for the rear tires? I currently run
    P215/65R15's on 15 X 7 rims with a 3 3/4" backset and without Airlifts in the rear coils, the tire scuffs the inner fender. I would like to run at least P245/60R15's on a 7 1/2 or 8" rim.

    I can't return new wheels once I have mount tires on them. Does anyone know of a foolproof method?
