Hello to all Trifive lovers. My name is Dave from Kalkaska Michigan.I recently purchased a 55 two door sedan. It has stock rear wheel wells. I'm curious to know if a set of 15X10 cragars with 275-50-15 with a 4 1/2" rear offset will fit under my car. And also if 15X8 rims with 225-60-15 will fit the front. The car is in paint about 60 miles away from me and the tires and wheels that I'm looking to purchase are 100 miles the other way. Also don't know if the lug nut pattern will fit. The wheels come off of a 72 Nova bolt pattern that was on a 63 Vette. Does any one know? Thanks and hello again to all.

I have 255/60/15's on the 8" rims on my 2DR post , fit like a glove, just about 1/2" clearance on both inside and outside of the tire. The rims have a 4.5" backspacing and that seems to be what we needed, I tried smaller tires on different rims and they where hitting the fenders. Hope that helps
I think 15 x 10 are to big that is what is on my 55 nomad and if not for the big wheel wells they would rub
Bolt pattern is the same
