Need tire help

I've decided to go with new Cragar S/S with my car
They will be 15 x 7 with a 4 1/8 backspacing
I will keep 235/70R15 in the rear
I also wanted to keep the 215/70R15 in the front, but they are very hard to find.

Will 235/70R15 with the 4 1/8 backspacing fit in the front of my car?

WOW about time you decided. Wasn't it about 9 months ago that you started the debate about which ones to get...? I have 245 on mine in front but I might have more room than you up there. HAve you tried talking to a respectable tire shop? Lots of time they are helpfull and will let you know what you need. The company I got my wheels from where very helpfull and even sold me something they didn't have listed since it would be the best (correct) size I needed.
4 1/8 offset?? Or did you mean backspacing?
I guess you could always measure what you have now and figure out how much extra room inside and outside you have then compare to new wheels. Its pretty easy to find a website with a conversion calc to help out with the mm to inches etc...

Ya, I meant backspacing.
I have talked to one guy who sells the magnums, and I think he said he sells them with a 4 1/4 backspace with 235's and they fit

On my clone, I have steel 15" cop car wheels and I am running P255x60x15 on the back. I have to jack the body up to get the tires off and on. On the front I am running P235x60x15 with absolutely no problems, no rubbing, nothing.

Sorry, not a clue. The car is still not here for me to check, but maybe you can find it online as it is a stock wheel.
