I am looking at Centerline wheels Telstar Terminator 15x8 with a 5" back space. Everyone says to run 5.5" BS with a 8" rim. The convo pros are also only 5" BS.
What are the drawbacks with only 5" BS? Are there any safty issues? Clearance issues?
BTW, I plan on running a 10.5" tire.
any help is appreciated.

Moose had the wrong backspacing on his original XP drag lights and they stuck out quite a bit I would make sure and go with the 5.5 backspacing, but its your call.
Good luck,

If you have too much backspacing, they will sit too far inside and rub the wheelwell. If you don't have enough, they will stick out some.

Andy, just mind your business. You don't need to be an *** on every board you visit. <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" />
