G bodies and wheel spacer question ??
 
 

I just added some 15x7 rally wheels to the EL Camino I have for sale and they have tires that are wide enough to rub on the inside on the frame slightly on the rear , I have never used any type of spacers before on anything whats the best route to space these out a whisker ?? 1/4 inch or so would do it

Probably do to the possible leverage to the lugs if bed is loaded real heavy.

Unless you're hauling chordwood I wouldn't worry.

Ill just put some smaller tires on it then if the spacers arent safe - just dont want it to rub on whoever I sell it too , I have other tires...

rolling the fenders wont give frame clearance - if you read the initial post its rubbing on the inside not the outside. they are 275's , they are what was on the wheels when I bought them , I have some 255's I think.

not a biggie I will deal with it I was just looking for opinions on spacers

Before I notched my frame I ran a wheel with a 4.5" back spacing,had a 275/60-15 on it & used 1/4" wheel spacer.
