I just purchased 15X7 Scott Drake styled steel rims for my '67 mustang.When I turn the front rims rub on the control arm. The offset is 4 5/8 do I need a different offset or can I use a wheel spacer?
Thanks

Yes, its too much backspacing, 4-1/2 would probably work better. Here's a tech article from MM that discusses wheels and tires:

Hi there, thank you for your reply. I will mention the 4 1/2 back space to Scott Drake because their back space is 4 5/8
