I posted some pictures in the thread entitled "16"x8" gnx knock-offs" showing pictures of some 16"x10" wheels with a rear spacing of 4.25". The first picture (on the left) shows the wheel mounted on the car without ANY spacer...and the second (on the right), WITH a 1.25" thick spacer...You can the tires don't stick out of the car too much (at least, for me! ) I just put a spacer just for fun to see how it would look, NOT because there was a tire against frame issue. This wheel / tire combo CAN easily be used without spacers.
I think that a wheel with a rear spacing of 4.50" OR MORE (!) will put the tire very close to the frame and you might end up having to use a spacer, like it or not...

Can you get a Closeup Shoot No mods to Frame or wheel well.? Is that a 15x10 with a 4.5 backspacing no wheel well mods no rubbing you are not running wheel
spacers. What size tire are you running. Those wheels are sweet. Is the tire bow tite with 4.5 backspace by the frame that Picture would be grate to. I wanted
to see if tires clear the wheel well trim with out cutting on the side wall of the tires.

This is the 8" with 4.5 BS thread. Add two inches to the pics and it should give you an idea. I'd say they are going to stick out at least an inch.

I'm with Eric, I think they'll stick out a good bit. Leave that look for the Camaro and Monte SS guys!

I run a 15x10 with a 28x10.50x15 ET Drag, and another set of wheels with 325/50/15 ET Streets and this is with 5" backsacing AND a frame notch.

15X8 with 3.5 BS = 4.5 inches from the hub to the lip of the rim
This is what I have and it sticks does work well with the fender trim and a 275/60/15 MT DR. I might try the 255/60/15 MT DR for a better fit.

My friend Peter has some 15X8 with a 4inch BS and that seems to be the hot ticket.

15X10 with 4.5 BS = 5.5 inches from the hub to the lip of the rim.
Some people run this but IMO it sticks out way too much!

15x10" wheel with 4" backspacing on a 28x12.5" ET Street.

I use airbags to keep the fender lip off the tire. the edge of the tire lines up with the edge of the fender, but there is about 1/2" space between the inside of the tire and the frame rail.

A friend of mine (JC's GN) has 4.5" spacing and it is close on the inside, but he says it doesn't hit. For his car, the outside of the tire still hits the fender lip, but removing the moulding and maybe rolling the lip will help (?)

yup !!! X2 !!! some think they fit some don''t.. I don't care to have the tire sticking out at all .. We drive our cars and I can't see how people can have them that close to the wheel well .. It HAS to rub unless ya have air bags or "air shocks" (for the old people in here)
