Default weld prostars owners step inside

Ive looked and looked and looked. My question is,have any of you run 15 x 10 prostars w/ 6.5 bs and had problems with the wheel lip that couldnt be fixed easily? Other than rolling the lip of course. Im getting some 325/5015s tires for them and was thinking of going with the 6.5 bs since alot of the pics for 7.5 bs ive seen seem to be tucked under the car a little more than i would like. Any input and maybe some rear pics of both backspacings would help me decide. the car is a 94 z28 btw. thanks

I dont have the prostars, I run the draglites 15x10 7.5 bs on MT 325/50 and there is no way it's tucked in. See video below in my sig.

Thanks for the info.I also wonder if running the 6.5 bs would cut down greatly on grinding of the calipers? Im just trying to get a good stance out the car without sticking to far out of the wheelwell.

Backspace has little to do with caliper clearance. It can affect the drop center area, but nothing dramatic. Backspace affects how the wheel sits in relation to the fender well.

6.5 is too small unless you like the way a tire looks that sticks out of the fender well.
