Weld wheel fender space
Does anyone run the 15X8 welds with 5.5 backspace on a turbo coupe rear? If so, is there enough space to run some 10.5 inch slicks without rubbing? I'm going to roll my fender lip so I'll get a little extra space. I figure that the 10.5 inch slick will stick out about 1.25 inches from the rim and the rim will stick out about 2.5 inches from the hub flange, so that's 3.75 inches from the flange which if I measured right should be really close to fitting in the wheel well. Anyway, how much space is there with a stock axle? Also, do 15 inch rims clear the quad shock mount on the rear end? Cause as far as I can tell if I don't have quad shocks I could run a mega wide rim as long as it stuck way in instead of out. Anyway, Thanks guys.
