      Default 15x7's with 4 inch backspacing on rear of Fairmont

      So experts, are any of you running 15x7 rear wheels on a Fairmont?
      I'm looking to run steel wheels for the sleeper look, and want to run 255/60's in the rear.
      Stock fox width 8.8 rear axle with drums.

      Thanks,
      Eric

      I used to have Mustang 15x7 10 hole wheels on my Futura, not sure what the backspace was, but pretty sure it was more than 4 inches.
