Fronts are 26x15" MT Sportsmans. Just a little bonding w/the BFH on the inner well, and a razor knife for trimming the rear bumper cover.

ls1408cp's setup looks to be narrowed on a 5.5" BS. Definately tuff.
As said my junk is on a stock width 12 bolt.

FWIW.... those pics are old and the car is now a little lower in the rear. Also cut the spacers off the Bogarts to tuck the tire in another 3/4". Seems to be working(no rubbing)but is close.

Here is my deal. I bought a car that currently has 15x8s with 26 10.50s. I am wanting to lost those and get some 15x10s with either a 28" slick or a set of the MT DRs. On the 15x10 weld prostars, what backspacing should I get? The 15x8s seem to stick out more than I want. I want them tucked as much as possible. thanks

Yep 7.5 BS. I assume you already grinded the calipers?

Well, I just bought the car so I am unsure about the calipers. It has 15x8s but the backspacing is not right because they stick out too far or something.

Pull the wheels off and see if they are grinded or not. If not, you will need to grind to fit the 15x10's. Either some with a spacer or alot with no spacer.
