Why 15x8 if a 15x10 would fit? Or will it? I wanna go as wide as I possibly can in the rear without having to do a lot of modifications to get it to fit. Also, these won't be the "full time" set of wheels I'll use. I'll use the set that's currently on the car for the street but use the other one'ssometimes as well after my days at the track and when I'm too lazy to swap them out. Also, I don't think these wheels come in a 15x5 size for the front.

there is no need to run a 10" wide rim when you wont be able to fit a tire wider then 275 without rubbing issues... just get 15x8's and 26x10.5x15 mickey T ET street bias play tires... dont get the drag radials... get the bias ply ones

RE: Wheel questions.

Okay, what about backspacing for the front (and 5.5 isn't listed for the rear on a 15x8. Any other ideas?)? And just how do I go about finding out what backspacing is needed anyway? Always nice to know this information for myself ya know?

And will 195/65/15's fit on a 4 inch wide rim?

RE: Wheel questions.

Well someone was mentioning earlier to get a 5 inch wide wheel and it doesn't sell in that size. And the rear wheels don't come in the backspacing that you're recommending. So I'm asking to be sure.

RE: Wheel questions.

Oh, it was you that posted up the 15x5. Oh well....what backspacing would I need since the one being recommended isn't listed on the site? Anyone? And can someone please explain how to figure out how much backspacing you need? Thanks!
