The exact sizes are 15x10 with 7.25 backspacing and 15x3.5 with 1.25 backspacing. It's was the left aft wheel. There is about a 8"ish or so scuff where it was contacting. There are 3 fins on the cakiper in the center. I ground down the center fin. No more contact. Thought it was very odd that, that was the only wheel that did it. Oh well I'm complaining compared to what doggy had to do.

I don't need them now. I was calling around for some 15x3.5's about a week ago after I placed an order with beefcake only to find out they had none in stock. I ended up finding some on eBay.

Aft is rear? How do the fronts fit? No issues? Can't wait to see them on your car! Asking cause i bought fronts with the same specs as yours im sure they're 3.75 and not 3.5. Racestar doesn't make 3.5's.

I certainly hope I won't have to grind mine since they are painted. Albeit, not painted very well, but still don't want to grind, ha.

My tires should be here next week for them. 295/55/15 ET Street Radials and 185/55/17 M&H front radials.

Give them a call the 5x10 with 5x3.75 Unilug will be 599 shipped and 15x8 with 15x3.75 will be 560shipped.

Call them though their website is ******* confusing and has a different pricing.

Aft is rear. The front fit great no grinding or anything. And yes Race star does make a 3.5 in uni lug. Direct drill Im not sure about. But mine are 3.5 with 1.25" backspacing.

I think they're like a 25.5? Or almost 26' tire? not too sure.

This guy below is running some in the exact same size but a different tire. I was curious because i hear about the 165/80s being dangeous on the street because of the speed rating and load rating. But the ones i linked seem to have a very nice speed rating (V or H).
