A friend of mine (too lazy to post) is getting 15 x 8 and 15 x 4.5 Weld wheels. What size tire and backspacing for the rims?

as far as backspacing for the 15x8 i think 5.5 looks best, and why not go with a 15x3.5 front rim? they look alot better i think, i dont know what back space for a 15x4.5..they come in a few diffrent ones but 15x3.5s only come in 1-3/4. as far tires is he driving this alot or just a weather premitting car? if a daily driver i would recommend 26x10.5-15 M/T sportsman pros, if its a weekend race car, id run a 26x10.5-15 M/T ET Street tire, or if hes really all business, a 26x8.5-15 ET Drag tire. Either way id run a M/T 26x7.5-15 Sportsman front on his front rims. here is one pic of my car with the sportsman setup. ill post more when im home later.

15x8 uses a 5.5bs, 15x10 uses a 6.5bs. As for tires, a 275/60-15 fills the fenders nicely and shouldn't rub as long as the car hasn't been lowered. For the frt, use the 2.xx bs. If you do the 1.75, if you ever swap to aftermarket brakes, the wheels stick out too far. A 165S15 tire fits the frt good also. here is a pic of what those sizes would look like.
