I have acquired the B-body rear and new espo springs, dr. Diff relocation kit . My question is do I have to have 15 inch rims with the 11 inch drum brakes in order to keep my car drivable? I plan to buy 15 x 10 with 5 1/2 inch backspacing or 5 inch backspace if I can find them rims but trying to spend money as I get it and keep my car drivable .

You are going to have to get a spring relocation kit if you want a real deep back space.

I forgot to put in my question that I have 14 inch rims currently I want to know if I can use them until I can purchase 15 inch.

14" rims will fit on factory 11" drum brakes no problem  :alan2cents:

Thanks Allen . I thought so but did not want to assume anything.

The 14's were factory available so no problem.
