I am planning on having my rear fenderlip rolled with a machine at the local speed shop. With a 275-60-15 and a 15x8 weld wheel, what backspacing will tuck this tire under on a 68 camaro. 275s rub now when i turn hard right or hit a bump. i believe i have 15 x 7 or 8 rally wheels on now.

would that be the same for the rear of a second gen (1980) coupe? (275 60 15 on 15x8's)
