#253632 - 12/29/04 11:02 AM 55 Roadmaster rim swap
kracked New Member Registered: 11/24/04 Posts: 5	Looking to swap the original rims for a set of wheels such as American Racing Smoothies. Does anyone know what size wheel/backspacing will fit the 55 Roadmaster? It is a 5-5 pattern, but I cannot find the backspacing/offset specs. Any help and/or suggestions will be appreciated!

Be very careful what you put on. _________________________ 37 46 modified with 455 & all the toys 40 56C original restored (driven over 100,000 miles by me) 69 Sport Wagon (BDE travelling car) 72 GS 455 ( used to harass Mustangs & Camaros) 92 Roadmaster Wagon 04 Rendezevous (Mama's ride)
