welds with 3.5 back spacing work without spacers??????

[sand1]

15x8 rears with 275 60 15 3.5bs work without moding anything??

 

[Major Nutz]

No spacers needed. It's going to be close to the fender lip. Might need to roll it.

A buddy of mine runs that wheel and tire size, he has to use air bags to keep the fenders off of the tires.

will aluminum drums give a lil more clearance?

You might have to roll the fender lips, but other than that, you should be fine.

I run that size and spacing. I need air in bags when trunk is loaded. I can race with no air in bags and it doesn't hit. No rolled lip either. When it rubs, it's up in the front of the inner well. The lip doesn't cut into the tire.

What is ideal BS for a 15x8 with a 275/60 M/T DR?

 

[Major Nutz]

4" backspace is ideal but most wheels are 3.5" or 4.5".

4" backspace is ideal but most wheels are 3.5" or 4.5".

I'll be having factory GN wheels widened.

 

[Major Nutz]

I had 8" wide gn's. Loved the look but they were heavy and rubbed on the fender lip.

Rubbed with 4" BS?

 

[Major Nutz]

I don't remember what backspace mine had. I can look it up in the morning. I work nights.

aluminum drums would give you a little less clearance..

Mine were 4" backspace. It rubbed on the fender lip so it was either roll the lip of the wheel well or go with a 4.5" backspace wheel and a 5/16" spacer. Guess I could have went to a 255/60 tire too. It's all trial and error.

And all depends on the height of your car. When you start lowering things like I did everything changes. Running 275/60 BFG drag radials with Centerline Rev wheels that have a true 4" backspacing. Drivers side will rub on the frame towards the rear on weird driveway angles but not bad, had to trim the fender lip. Passenger side no frame rubbing but had to work on the fender lip. Using F Body Hotchkis lowering springs. Roads are getting so bad around CT that I ended up putting the isolators back on between the springs and frame to gain 1/2" in height as I was getting some lip rubbing.

 

[Kurt04]

Hmm. I don't plan to lower my car or carry much in the trunk...

 

[bad V6]

I run Centerline wheels and have no rubbing with 4" BS, and the fender lips have not been modified.
