15"wheels- backspacing? suggestions?

acmillr · July 11th, 2007, 10:45 PM

I think I want to go to a 15" drag style wheel. I am thinking I want 15x10's out back and 15x5's on the front. Could you guys tell me what backspacing I am needing and/or offer any suggestions on particular wheels?

Sorry I can't answer any of it for ya, but I wanted to add another question...

Will 15" rims even clear the front brakes? or would you need a 16" for that?

acmillr · July 11th, 2007, 10:52 PM

They will clear with a small amount of grinding on the caliper housing.

You can get prostars for that bad boy and it will look great! You will need a .25 or 7/16 spacer up front to clear though! I say 15x3.5 in front and 15x10 in back with the rear back spacing at 5.5

i was about to get some prostars, i was told the backspacing should be:
15x8 w/ 5.5 backspacing
15x10 w/ 6.5 backspacing

MustangMatt96GT · July 12th, 2007, 01:06 PM

Yeah that might be true, but on JEGS website the 15x10s didnt come in 6.5 back spacing!

acmillr · July 12th, 2007, 01:09 PM

They do on summit's website

MustangMatt96GT · July 12th, 2007, 01:11 PM

Yeah they do on jegs too! I just didnt see it! You need 6.5 back spacing on the rear!
