Billet Specialties street lite backspacing question?

[KevinBroadwater]

i want 15x8 back and 15x6 front.will be running 275/50/15 M/T drag radials now, but when i get the car faster will go to 275/60/15. What backspacing do i need without notching frame and rolling the interfender lip?Thanks

I have some Billet Specialties on my car with 275-60-15 tires but they're 15"x10" with a rear spacing of 4.5" . If you want to use thje same size tires on a 15"x8" wheel, you'll need a rear spacing of 3.5", but you might have to roll the fender lips, no big deal.

I currently have the same rims 15x6 Fronts with 3.5" backspacing and 15x8 Rears with 4.5" backspacing. 4" would be perfect but they do not make them in a 15x8, I use a small spacer (3/8") with no problems, front tires are the MT street radials, back tires are 255/60 Drag radials.

3.5" backspacing moves the tire too far out and looks awkward, keep in mind if you plan to lower the car the 3.5" backspacing will definitely not work with 275/60. The 4x4 look is not my style.

Hey, ILOVEBOOST ?? I'm buying a set of pro-stars 15/6 front 215-65-15 and a 15/8 275-60-15 rear both of these has a 4.5' backspacing will they fit well on a stock height 87' T. I just haven't got this backspacing thing down to a science yet.. Thank's Alot

15x8 with a 4" bs is ideal as posted. I was running a 15x8 with 4.5 with a 1/4" spacer with 275/60 with no problem. With a 3.5 bs, you will have to roll the lips alot unless the car sits high in the rear and has a stiff suspension.
