I doubt anyone has pics because just as many people said 6.5" backspace 10" wide rims will stick out of the wheel well and make he car look like a roller skate. the 7.5" backspace is flush with the 1/4" panel opening as is so imagine them sticking out an extra inch. this also means when you hit a bump or take a corner and compress the suspension the tire hits the 1/4 panel. Everyone with a stock width rearend runs a 7.5" BS Weld on a 10" wide rim.

Camaro's - nothing but 7.5 BS
Trans Am's and Firebird's - they can easily get away with the 6.5 BS as you can see in the pic above. I was running a 15x10 Prostar with 275/50R15 with a 6.5 BS and they looked great in my opinion. My buddy I bought them from was running them with a 325/50R15 and only has a slight rubbing problem on his fender lip. With the 6.5 BS you don't have to do as much clearancing on the inner fenders but do have to worry about the fender lip. I'm rolling my fender lip and then running 15x10's with a 6.5BS and 325/50R15's as soon as my wheels get here.

Hey bitch nuts, they didn't stick out that far at all. Sat level with the fenders and NEVER rubbed.
That picture is not a good picture at all, I'll post up some pics on Sunday once I get the 15x10 WITH A 6.5BS mounted on the car with my 325/50R15's.
