Default Help with backspace & tire size.
So i've been wanting to get some weld pro stars or those knock offs that summit has, but i'm not all that great when it comes to backspacing so i need some help. Im wanting to get a 15x10 wheel, what backspace? and i'm wanting to run a nice fat DR or slick that wont rub but its got to be a 26" height since my car is lower then stock.

The summit stars don't come in a 7.5" BS. Here is what they look like in a 6.5" BS
