10 Spoke Wheel Fitment Help
« on: September 18, 2021, 12:31:18 PM »
Hello all, looking for an extra set of wheels for our 68 GT350. This will be for radial tires so we can take the Goodyear Speedways off. What is the correct backspacing? There 3 different repo wheels with 4.25", 4.5" and 4 3/8" backspacing. I want to make sure we get the right set that should fit with no issues. Thanks in advance.

Legendary wheels are Chinese knock offs. Not sure where the Branda wheels are currently made.

You want the Branda Wheel.

It is going to have the cast in spacer which should make it clear your front stock 68 calipers but it is possible to have interference with full pads.

It depends on the caliper casting itself.

I have two of the Branda wheels here and they did clear with no issues.


Unlike the original wheel (which I also have here) they are fully machined on the backs for the maximum clearance possible using the original design.

They have the original location for the valve stem and the lug nut seats are machined to take the original design compound angle lug nuts.
