The sky is the limit. Do a google image search for 6 lug wheels: https://www.google.com/search?q=6+lug+wheels&client=firefox-a&hs=N3I&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=LtFkVOaLDsSgyASM74CQAQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg

My '65 had 6 lug 80's truck rally wheels:

I changed to 6 lug aluminum slotted mags:

More important than backspacing is the actual design of the wheel itself. If it isn't designed to clear the caliper on a disc brake system it may not have the required clearance on the inner surface of the rear backspacing portion of the wheel itself.

Hope that makes sense to ya.
