Default weld magum 2.0's bolted up!

pics do not do justice. if the car had a chute on the back it would look like a 10.5 car. it sits way lower than the pics show.
saved 46 pounds from centerline telstars with MT radials and a full size front tire.

15x3.5 front 28" sportsman tire
15x8.25 rear 28" hoosier DR

What's the backspacing on the wheels. Is there any rubbing front/ back?

Is the suspension stock height? I have an 85 Camaro that is currently lowered that I am putting back to stock height and was going with the same size rears so I just wanted to make sure they would fit.Thanks

the fronts are 1.75" backspacing. its tucked in pretty good. i wouldnt recommend the 2.25. it would fit, but look goofy, imo.

the rears are 15x8.25 with a 5" backspacing. the way the wheel is made, it measures 5 3/8" from the inside of the lip.
the tire is a 275/60/15. its 28" and the hoosiers have a pretty wide section width of 11.5. i had already cleared my inner fender in front of the LCA in the wheelwell, so i have no issues.
actually have about a 1/4 to spare. i could do some more beating if i needed to.
car is down 1" in the front. the rear is a stock spring, minus the rubber isolators at the top, which take out about 3/4 inch.

I you have a 4th gen, the 2.25" BS are the way to go. I do agree, the 1.75 are dead nuts for a 3rd gen.
