what back spacing?

[WO2TURBO]

im running 275/50/15 m/t drag radials in the back what is the most back spacing i can get away with and not have to notch my frame?

What kind of wheels are you going to be running? Stock, Welds Wheels?

If you going to run stock, you can get away with running up to a 295-50-15. This is what I run on my T rims. So, you will be safe running a 275-50-15

I also run the welds- for the street I run 15x8 3 1/2 Back Spacing with 295-50-15's no rubbing what so ever. You can run these without rolling the lips, so you are safe with the 275's.

the reason im asking is a got a line on some 15x8 with 4.5 back spacing im thinking that that would be to much and rub on the inside. what do you think?

I think your right. You might have a problem with 4.5, I know I did the first time I ran a 4.5 B/S with my old weld wheels. If you do get'em you will most likely have to run a small spacer to be safe. Although, I was running 275-60-15 BFG DR's at the time.

15-8 4in bs

I have 275-60-15 dr's on 15 by 8 with 4 inch back space with no mods.

I just put on a set of widened TR wheels - 15 x 9 with 4 1/8 bs & 275 x 50 Nittos. With about 25 miles on them, I haven't had any problems. I also run Paul Ferry's HRPartsNStuff sway bar & the rear seams not to shift side to side as much as it used to.

A 4" bs would be safe. If you go with a 3.5" bs you will need to roll the fender lip
