Re: Paging Colonel He runs 29x10 (i think its 10 or maybe 10.5) Hoosier's on 15x10 Draglites with 7.5" of backspacing.
Heres the Backspacing deal as I see it. Instead of everyone trying to see what fits. Just stick to what works. 8" wide Weld needs 5.5" BS. 10" Weld's need 7.5" BS. 7.5" wide Centerlines need 5" BS. See the correlation? It seems the F-Body needs X-amount of BS and 2.5" of wheel in front of the brake. stick to that and you should be fine. Oh and run the widest wheel within the x-amount to y-amount wheel size recommendation. For instance, if a Hoosier 26x10" wants 9-10" of wheel, run a 15x10" wheel. You'll get more contact patch.
