Can someone tell me the stock wheel backspacing front and rear for the SS?
Yes, I've done a search and only found offset in Wiki. I can't measure myself because the car is in storage.
Thanks

I have a new pair in the box at home.....if you are still needing the info this afternoon, I will take one out of the box and measure it for you.

If you have the widths and offsets, you can use this site to calculate backspacing.

Thanks guys. I am looking at American Racing Villian and Tire Rack shows an 8.5 width for the front and and 10 inch for the rear. The offset for both is 38. Backspacing according to the American racing website is 6.25 front and 7.00 rear. By the calculator Nine Ball sent, stock backspacing is 5.87 front and 6.57 rear, with offsets being 35 front and 40 rear. Just wanted to make sure these wheels work before I buy them. The numbers seem OK to me, except a 10 inch rear may be getting borderline, but hell, I had a '67 with L60s on a 6.75 inch wheel. Do you think I'm OK ordering these wheels? They are 20s by the way.

When I got home, as promised, I got one of my new REAR factory stock 20's and physically measured it, the backspacing on the REARS of the stock 20's is 6.625" (6 5/8") on the money.
