Wheel backspacing, Yo Mach1 (or ne1 that knows)
 

I order the tires:
205/60r15s front
265/50r15s rear
I am ordering 15x6 front, 15x8 rear draglites. Which backspacing is it I need? Was it 5 1/2 for the rear? This combo will fit ok, right? Also I'm paying $128.95(15x6) and $136.95(15x8) through Summit, is there anyplace less expensive? Man, I'm getting excited.. I bet this is gonna look sweet.
Thanks for any help..

I ordered some draglites with 5.5 inch backspacing but I had to send'em back cause there wasn't enough clearance in the back. The tires would have hit the quad shocks. So I went with the 4.5 inch backspacing. I can tell they stick out a little but nobody else notices. Now I have plenty of room to run 275's with my quads still on. Oh Yeah, the draglites are the best rims I ever had. Many people compliment me on them. Just remember to polish them up a few times a month or after it rains. Good Luck!!

Thanks for the reply! Do you have a picture of those on the car?

With an 8" rim and a 265-50-15 you'll want a 5.5" backspacing. You will probably have to at least flip the quads around. I run 275's, and don't have room for the quad shocks.
