i am going to be running 15x7 up front and 15x8 in rear, i believe that the rear is 5.5 back spacing and im not sure about tire width......im gonna be running 275s but i have the quad shocks re mounted with a different bracket.

yea no prob but i doubt that 275 will work with quads though. i had to fabricate new mounting brackets in my dads machine shop....

That is the correct b/s, and i run 15x8 in the back with 26x10.5 e.t. streets, with quads, it rubbed slightly, but not enough to create a problem.
