Need pics of 15x10 T-Type wheels!

[Rotti54]

Hey guys trying to decide between 15x8.5 and 15x10 T-Type wheels for the rear of my WE4. Could you guys post pics and info of your wheel/tire sizes for me and if you have used any spacers etc??? Thanks Matt

Thanks that is informative, but i really want to see what those sizes look like on the cars. And what tire sizes guys are running

I have 15x9.5 vectors on mine. I found some clean 8.5" vactors and added an inch to the back side. Will post pics later.

Stock T 15x7 .5 inch spacer, 28x9 MT ET Drag

Vector 15x8.5 no spacer MT ET 26x10 (actually measured out to a 27 inch tire installed)

Yeah i like that look, you think a 15x10 with a 275/6015 would rub the fenderwells???

 

[TurboTnZ06]

275 60 can rub depending on the backspace. Hoosier 275 60 15 on my 15x8.5 vectors rubbed outer wheel lip.

Hmmm that sucks wonder what backspace i need

 

[TurboTnZ06]

You can machine the back of the vector to move them in a hair but not much, then still have to trim the outer well to clear.

This Limited has 8" front and 10" rear wheels:

Thats nice wonder if the rear is a 50 or 60 series tire?

From when I was looking into this backspacing ordeal. http://gnttype.org/forums/archive/index.php?t-3304.html
Ken Mosher writes back in 2005 from the gnttype.org archives link above:
"Ideal backspace is right around 4" to 3 7/8" (depending on iron or aluminum drums). You get slightly more clearance with the aluminum drums and 4" works great."
