15" rims on a Ls1 Today I just the new draglite XP's 15X9 with a 5.5" backspacing. The rims fit just perfect. They don't hit the brakes or anything. I put on my Et street 28x12.50 and the tire sticks out like a biatch. Now I don't mind if the bulg sticks out but the contact patch sticks out a little. My question to you guys is can I fit a 15x10????? I have alot on inner fender clearance so i think a 6.75" backspacing wouild work well. What do you guys think. Someone with 15" rims talk to me
Thanks

Re: 15" rims on a Ls1 The 15x9's fit great without the tire. They have the same backspacing as a stock 17x9. So just think of how those fit and that is how these fit.

Re: 15" rims on a Ls1 Of course it is because of the backspacing ameet. Anyone could tell you that.I want to know who makes a rim with the right backspacing. Also I want to go wider so I think the brakes will really be in the way. Currently the brakes don't rub and the calipers aren't all the way in the rim. If that made any sense.
