15x10 with 7" backspacing?

acmillr · February 7th, 2010, 05:11 PM

Does anyone here currently run a 15x10 size wheel with 7" of backspacing?

F8L GT · February 7th, 2010, 06:24 PM

no man, i have a 6.5. what are you lookin at miller? clearance or what?

acmillr · February 7th, 2010, 08:03 PM

Yeah, I just want to tuck the tires as far under the car as possible. I have "heard" people say it will work, but I want to talk to someone who is actually running this size wheel on a SN-95.

mystang0673 · February 7th, 2010, 09:12 PM

i know that with a sn-95 rear end in a new edge car it will tuck a 325 tire with 6.5 bs

F8L GT · February 7th, 2010, 10:12 PM

AC, i dont know if these pics help at all, but this is what a bare 15x10 with 6.5bs wheel looks like. Maybe it will give you an idea of anothe half inch bs

Ive Ran a 15x10s with 6.5 Backspacing and im pretty positive there is room for a 15x10 with 7" Backspacing, But im not sure how a 325 would fit if thats what your looking at might be more doable with a 275-265 size tire you might need to beat up the inner fender with a BFH like ive heard of some doing when running the 335-35-17s.

acmillr · February 7th, 2010, 11:12 PM

Thanks for the input. I may just go with th 6.5" after all. I was just hoping that the 7's would fit with a 325 without too much trouble. I guess I'll just run the 325 x 28 and roll the fenders in a little.

F8L GT · February 7th, 2010, 11:15 PM

thats what im doing with my 28x13.5x15s. I will find out tomorrow when they get here but I am also going to be running my stock springs in the rear. Until i get my Moroso trick springs

acmillr · February 7th, 2010, 11:22 PM

Yeah, I was already thinking I am going to have to trade in the Steeda drop springs for some drag springs.

I dont think they will tuck inside the fender well. I jacked my lca all the way up and i dont have those rubbing problems...

acmillr · February 7th, 2010, 11:23 PM

My BMR lowers are unadjustable..........

F8L GT · February 7th, 2010, 11:24 PM

White had drag springs on the back of his with 325s. I still have the pics and look at them everyday lol

acmillr · February 7th, 2010, 11:29 PM

Yeah, the drag springs are about the same height as stock. I think the Steedas have a heavier rate on the right side.

F8L GT · February 7th, 2010, 11:30 PM

yeah thats how the moroso trick springs are also

acmillr · February 7th, 2010, 11:31 PM

CAn you buy the Morosos as rear only? I think the Steedas only come as a full set.

F8L GT · February 7th, 2010, 11:34 PM

yeah thats how they come, They are listed as 79-93 but there isnt much diffence in hiegth between those and the 94-04 springs

Moroso 47510 Moroso Trick Rear Springs

Hmmm,

So it's safe to assume that a wheel with 7in back spacing will fit as long as tires are under 275's. Anything bigger is questionable?

Jazzer The Cat · March 30th, 2010, 12:48 PM

A 7" back-space WILL rub on the inside/back of fender well. You can put on your baggy pants and do some "Hammer-time" and get them to work. Running a a 325 will require some Sister Sledge to run them baby's.

I would stick with the 6.5" ones

CONDOR · March 30th, 2010, 12:55 PM

So Fenders need to be rolled. Thanks!

I want 11.5 in wheels. I love the look.

Jazzer The Cat · March 30th, 2010, 01:22 PM

Runing an 11.5" wheels, you will need more than just fender rolling

I run an 11" wheel and went Sister Sledge on the back/inside wall and mega rolling of fender on a 315/30/18" tire. I don't recommend you try to squeeze an 11.5" wheel under there and especially with a 325 tire.
