Reply to "Help me choose my new wheels"

George the back spacing is 7". I used some of those formulas from this site in the beginning, but I still wasn't sure about the fitment, so I started with my 15 x 10" first. I liked the fit overall(flush with body) but wanted them to be slightly recessed. I used a slightly different method for my wheels.
OEM 15 x 10 is actually 15 x 11. B.S. is 5.25" so the front space would be 5.75" =11". I knew that I could not have a b.s. on the wheels that would have the front space to be any more than 5.75" and have the fit be flush. So with a 11.5" width actually 12.5" - 7" b.s. = 5.5" front space and it would be .25" less than the OEM campy's and giving a slight recess. I know this method might have been a little unorthodox but it worked, and since I was doing a test fit before the final welding for the center I felt more comfortable trying it this way.

If you would like any more pictures with different angles, I will gladly provide them. Hope this helps. One owner whose car was on the cover of a POCA Profiles issue in 2015 was kind enough to give me his b.s. from his Pantera East wheels and some of the other owners on this site were kind as well to help me out. So thanks again to everybody.
