Vette(s): 1972 coupe/350 cid/mild cam/4 spd/20 ft. paint (looks perfect from 20 ft.), but it sure runs nice.
Can anybody confirm the backspacing on a 15x8 steel rallye to be 4 inches? The year is 1972.

That's what I measured (or thought I did), but I couldn't find a 15x8 rallye with 3.75" backspacing anywhere. Only 4", 4.5", or 5".
