On my Nova I use a Bogart wheel with a 1.75 backspacing. Same with the Malibu.

I use M/T 26X 7.50 15 -LT front runner .Is it possible to use a taller front runner,without rubbing the tire in the wheel house?

I had Alumistars with 1.75 backspace on my camaro and with 28 tall Moroso front runners they would rub everywhere. I now have MT's with 2.25 backspace and they fit way better. You can't turn lock to lock but at least they don't rub when I jam the brakes on.

I run 28-4.5 tires with no rubbing.
