I was just checking out the weld site because someone posted a link in another post.

Check out this link. www.weldracing.com/streetstrip.html

I haven't checked out all the rims but from what I've seen all the 15x9s have 5.5 bs.

Thanks Mustangbelle you are so thoughtful.

rbatson, thanks for the link. The reason I was asking was b/c I am about to (tomorrow) go with drag radials for the car (I need some SOOOOOOO badly)-- Nitto 275/50/15. I would rather put them on 15x9s than 15x8s, but will need further backspacing than what I have now. I was looking at some Weld wheel catalogue and saw 3 diff backspacings for 15x9s. I have a good amount of space b/t my tires and inside wheel well (I can at least utilize another inch of backspacing).

Thanks for the info. Any more is welcomed.
