Default Weld RT-S on 4th Gen LT1 car

So I understand that the Weld RT-S's dont require you to grind your calipers like they do on prostars or other wheels like that and I like that about them, only problem is I cant seam to find anywhere after hours of searching where it'll tell me what b/s I need for a 15x4 and 15x8 to find on a 4th gen LT1 car. Also, does anyone recommend going with anything different, size wise? Im looking to run a 26x9.5x15 in the rear or a 27x10.5x15, should I/can I go bigger? My rear end has not been narrowed.

A 15x8 will need a 5.5 bs and a 15x10 will need a 7.5 to be in stock location since your rear is not narrowed. A 15x10 will fit if you wanted to run something bigger.

On the rear of mine I have a 15x10 7.5 back space.

Is there a benefit of running something like a 15x10 vs something like a 15x8 besides being able to handle a bigger tire? I feel like a 15x10 would be able to handle a much bigger tire than a non-narrowed stock rear would allow but I could be wrong? 1.75 BS on a 15x4 up front fit well?

4th Gen starts near bottom of first page.

Note the 2 different pad options/BS for a 15x4
