Yeah for some reason I feel like a little more dish. Was gonna get mine widened but for under $100 a wheel might just have to give it a shot. 15x7 with et0 measures right to the inside of the fender lip so 15x6 et6 might just be the way to go
 
What does 4.5" backspace equate to in offset on a 7" wheel?

Edit: Looks like et12. I think you'd need to roll fenders but it sure would look good.
 
I have sold 4 sets of the steel wheels offered by VP in the last 3 months. They are copies of the wheels Volvo made for the rear drum brake cars made in 1969 and 1970 and fit all of the rear drum brake Volvos imported into the US.

These reproduction wheels are 5.5 wide and accept the later style of original Volvo hub cap with a black "V".

Right now they are on sale for $500.00 for a set of four and that price includes shipping to the lower 48 states. The wheels also come with closed end lug nuts and cheap non original hub caps.

The hub caps are the style that are usually mounted on aluminum wheels and they only cover the grease caps and axle nuts. A set of small black "V" stickers are also included.

Interesting......the title description says 4.5 but the specs below say 4.0 which would be correct at 0 offset
 
I don't think you'd have to do any rolling at all, I bet the 7" with a 205 tire are a perfect fit. Certainly worth buying one and test fitting it, and returning it if it isn't right.
 
I know anything more than about 3.3, 3.4" backspacing won't fit on the front of a PV. FWIW. It's got the less tidy kingpin/double A-arm suspension and the upper pivot gets in the way of extending wheel lips inward.
 
Alright I got a 15x7 et0. Fit is exactly what I wanted.
Here's what it looks like on the rear



Front actually has a little more room. Plenty on the inside as well. Backspace is 4".
Only problem is, as I had originally questioned, the factory hubcaps don't fit. The nubs on the original wheels are much more pronounced than the mopar wheels.



I definitely have to figure out something to make them work though. Looks too good
 
I am thinking I want to do the same Vintiques series 69, do you have any pictures of them on the car from a distance so we can see the whole car? Thank you

Depending on what you plan to run these would also work.
