Reconfirming wheel specs for 15x7 Options

[grantsfo]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of custom wheels and want to confirm backspacing and center bore for hub centric ring on a 1974 car. I will be running fat 205/50/15 Hoosiers on the wheels.

I will be having 15x7" wheels made with 4 lug 4x130mm bolt pattern.

Back spacing specs: I have heard everything from 4.25" to 5" for backspacing for 15x7 wheels. I'm not afraid of bending my fenders a bit to make things fit and I like the idea of a little wider track. Would 4 1/2" back spacing be enough for somone who has rolled fenders? I have lots of room now with rolled fenders and my 205/50/15 tires on 5.5" Fuchs - easily 2 to 3 inches

I do have centering ring on my front hub. Mueller provided dimensions of 78.60 mm x 15 mm which looks about right using my tape measurer. If I make an error I want to make sure its making this bore too big.

I appreciate everyones feedback.

Paul I've heard that the Revolution wheels were a little on the heavy side. Just surprised they were on the lightest 914 on the planet if that is the case...

Their not on the "World's Lightest 914" anymore. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I did say "had".

And they are a bit heavy.
