1987 t type 15x8.5 rear wheel backspacing.

[DrunkenSpool]

I have a set of vector wheels 15x8.5 for the rear of my car, They have 3 5/8 backspacing. Do you think this will be acceptable on my car with stock rear rear suspension. What tire would be the best choice for these wheels a 255-60r15 or 275-50r15. Let me know your thoughts.

I run a 26 x 10 MT ET Drag slick on the vectors with no problem. 275 50 DR should work, unless you're lowered, then you may have issues with the trim ring on the wheel well hitting.

I am aware that 275-50 fits. I am concerned with the 3 5/8 back spacing. Do you think I will have any issues with that? Thanks to all

thats what I'm using on my WE4, all stock suspension
using 275-50-15, tires WILL rub fender lip
I trimmed the lip and have no issues,
these are before trimming,

That's what I am saying. That backspacing on that wheel (I run them) may cause fitment issues hitting the outside if you're lowered or going up a steep driveway at an angle.
