Does anyone have info about wheel well space in a 1964 Bonneville? I was looking at 15x7in or 17x7in American Racing 200S "Daisy" wheels but they only come in 4in backspace. Does anyone know if this will fit if i run a 205/60 (15in) or 215/45 (17in)?

Further complicating the issue is my car rides on air suspension and i dont want the car resting on the wheels (which will push on the bodywork) when it is aired out. Narrower tyres should help this but i am concerned the outer edge of the wheel will contact the inner face of the guard/fender

Currently i have 15in Cragar S/S with 205/60 tyres. I dont mind altering the rolling diameter (by running smaller tyres) as i will have to run a speedo adapter to suit the TH400 i have installed to replace the dead Super-Hydro 4spd.
