Hi Eddie,

Question, I have a 77 Hornet AMX, will a 15x10" rim with 5.5 " backspacing fit on the Hornet without getting into the fender wells.  I have a 500hp 70 390 in it and need more tire on the ground.
I believe the tread width is in the 11 to 12" range.   I had a 69 AMX with 10" rims but the backspacing was around 3.5" and the outer edge of the tire would rub the lip of the fender well when I
hit a bump in the road. I installed air shocks to fix that problem (rough ride but no rub!)

Thanks,
Dustin D
