Default Whats the best backspacing for 15x8 weld wheels on an fbody?
I am looking into installing some 15x8 and 15x4 welds on my 2002 and was wondering whats the best backspacing. Also from what I have read I will have to do a little grinding on the brakes to get them to clear. Is this true and will it affect any thing?

5.5 and yes you will have to grind a lot.

better off getting a 15 x 10 rim with 7.5 backspacing

I already have the 15x8s in both 4.5 and 5.5 just wondering which one will fit the best.
