Specifications for Wide Steelies on a LWB

[Stophos]

I am looking to have some steel wheel widened to fit a stock LWB car. Ideally 7 & 8"s. hoping to put 205's upfront and 215's in the back. I have 2/69 and 2/70 steel wheels to work with. (I think these are the same) Does anyone know the build specifications to do this right?
Thanks - Chris

Chris, you can make the rear have the same offset as 7R wheels and run a 215. I'm not sure an 8 would fit on the back of a skinny car.

I know others have done 8’ but I am sure the spec has to be right on. Not sure about the 7’s in the front. If I can’t get definitive answers I will have to compromise and maybe go 6.5 and 7.5 or ?

Thanks
