A new 15 x 8 stock 6 bolt Steel wheel option?

4.25” back spacing, will it work for my 67? I had read that the 1967 had a narrower rear end... wondering if I would need spacers to center them under the step side fenders...

They also have them in 15 x 5, and 15 x 10, for those guys wanting the narrow front, fat rear look....with stock caps...

Are the Coker wheels any different from the ones wheel vintiques does? They look the same.

I wish they would do the 5x5 or 6x5.5 in 17”

I know they don’t work on 4x4 disc brake trucks. Need 3.75 backspacing for those.

Has anybody ran the 4.25" back space on a 2wd with disc and stock control arms?

I’m planning on just running a pair on the rear, which shouldn’t be a problem, I was just concerned about the backspace on the narrower rear end of my 67.

I have read reviews on the wheel vintiques saying they will NOT work with factory front disc brakes.

They’re cheaper in price from Coker, but probably the exact same wheel...
