I'm buying a new set of Torque Thrust D wheels for my 69 Mach 1, 15x7 on the front and 15x8.5 on the rear. Will these wheels clear on the rear with the standard offset. I plan to use 275/50x15 tires.

On my dad's 69 Mach 1, he has 15x10 welds with 5.5" backspacing. He also has 28x 10.5 x15 Hoosier slicks. If you run a sway bar, you will have to remove. If you run traction bars, you will have to grind them down. And you will have to clearance the inner wheel well. He runs slide-a-links and they clear fine. They fit inside and look great. Hope this helps.
