Skinny Backspace Question

Looking at some weld 15x3.5's will 2.25 backspace work with either grinding or less preferable spacers? Thanks

Yes, they will fit stock brakes with grinding AND a spacer. 17's will fit with no grinding or spacers.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/1600126-15x5-racestar-dragstar-fit-perfect.html. Get you some racestars no need to grind or spacers. These are 15x5 though. 15x3.75 would be perfect.

My Weld RTS wheels went on with no grinding at all! They're 15x4 and 15x10 with plenty of brake clearance.
