Awesome David!...thanks a bunch! It's looking more and more like the Buick Wheels will be a working alternative on the Packards and maybe THE ONLY alternative for a relatively stock looking wheel. One more hurdle to get over and I'm REALLY keeping my fingers crossed is the Buick wheel accepting the Packard full wheel covers. From the measurements I obtained from the man at the bone yard, the buick wheels backspacing may widen the track by as much as 1" but it should still allow the P235/75-R15's to clear the rear skirts and quarter panels. The Blazer wheels are 8" wide and although I haven't measured the backspacing, they fit with a very tight 1/2" to spare but they haven't rubbed yet. Thanks Again David!
