SubjectBackspace and Tire Fitments.....

Folx, does anyone know what I can do for fitment on my '64 olds? I'm running 18x8's front and rear with approximately 5.875" backspace and it's STILL NOT enough. The 225/45/18 front tires are rubbing the inner fenders (outside) pretty hard going through dips and when turning lock-to-lock. I really don't want to lift the front of the car so what other options do I have?

All I can think of is to run a 215/45/18 or even 205/40/18 but I'm not sure how well those will look on a 8" reverse hoop style smooth lip billet wheel.

Unfortunately, the wheels are 18x8 with a 6.875" backspace using a 1" bolt pattern adapter/spacer. The car is 5x4.75 and these are 5x4.5 I believe off a dakota or toyota or some minitruck. I went through all that to say they can't be rehooped to an 18x7" because only the backside would change- it wouldn't move the wheel in towards the center of the car any further.

Does anyone have a hook-up on 215/45/18 or specially 205/40/18 tires?

Thanks!
