Whats the biggest or widest street tire I can run on this set-up for the rear.15x10 weld draglites with a 6 1/2 spacing? Thanks for any info. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I think you might actually want a 7.5" BS unless you are running a narrowed housing. You increase the width of the wheel 2" from 15x8 to 15x10 and you need 2 additonal inches of back spacing to try to keep it in the fender.

thanks for the info.not really too worried about the tire sticking out the fender.was thinking running those Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires but not sure the right size. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I would run an et street or hoosier quick time pro. 26/11.50/15 thats 10" of thread to the floor. Since you have the extra wheel well space maybe a 28. My 02 cents. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

28x12.5 will rub on a 6.5 backspacing. You need 7.5.

28x12.5x15 ET Street fits perfect on a 15x10" rim.

But with 6.5 backspacing, the tires will stick out like two inches... And when you nail it the body will come down on the tire and cut it up.

thanks PSJ for the info.Ill just use the 6.5 spacing for the street and order a pair of 7.5 spacing for the slicks.anyway the car is not a daily driver.also running skinnies up front.one more question.would I have to grind the calipers out back for the 6.5 spacing? thanks again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

hey nassty what size tires are you running? on those.just making sure if it rubs on the calipers maybe I can getaway by grinding the calipers if not will have to go with 7.5 backspacing. thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

If you're gonna go for the 10", I would also say to get the 7.5BS. My 28-inchers occasionally rub with the 15x8's. Are you gonna use these on the street or track Rex? Decide not to wait for mine?

thanks for the replies.got hold of the store where Im ordering the wheels and lucky they havent shipped out yet and managed to changed the backspacing to 7.5 like you guys said.thanks again. Reckless-cant wait for your wheels,decided to get some new one and go bigger little bit but have somebody interested on your wheels locally.will let you know when I see you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Any 15" Weld is going to need grinding. Why are you stuck on using the 6.5 BS? It's gonna look goofy.
