Weld wheels backspacing for fbodies?
The search is not working properly. Every time I use it it brings up everything and anything but what I typed in...and I have tried various ways, combinations, etc. to no avail. So it probably isn't his fault that the search came up dry...

At minimum, you are going to have to grind your rears. If you have stock brakes up front, you shouldn't have to grind, but you will have to run a spacer iirc. If you have ls1 brakes up front, you will either have to grind a **** load, or grind a little bit and run a spacer.
longer studs are recommeded if you use spacers
i know its for ls1 but it give you an idea

Bolt circle for the Weld rim is 4.75 inch
If you get 15X3.5 the backspacing is 1.75
You will have to grind down caliper cooling fin weather you use spacer or not. If you use spacer you grind less.
The brake pad thickness has a affect on the position of the caliper suggest replaceing the pads when you do the clearanceing.
I recommend getting ARP wheel studs 12mm X 1.5, 3.25"

I had to get shank style lug nuts 12mm x 1.50 RH they come in open end and close end to run on the track you need open end.
