im in the market for some drag rims and was curious

if i go with a 15x10 what BS would i need
and if i go 15x8 waht would the BS needed.

correct me if im wrong but,
15x10 would need 7.5 BS or would a 6.5 work?
and 15x8 = 5.5 BS ????

 

depends which is more availible to you? are you going to have to go out of your way to get one of the sets more than the other?

 

no either size is available, just wanting to be sure i have the rim size to bs correct

 

also ill probably be running a 28x10x15 inch tire

 

a 15x10 with 6.5BS would probably stick out too much for you (and probably have rubbing issues on the fenders depending on ride height). myself and everyone else i know stick with the 7.5BS. and yes a 15x8 would be a 5.5BS for our cars.

 

cool thanx for the help

 

anyone know the center bore diameter of our cars?

 

15x10 with 6.5 backspacing, tucked 28 10.50 undermy car under the fenders easy
i run a 15x8 with 4.5 back now and if you look hard it fluch with side of car not tucked but still lets susp. travel and no rub

 

Mine are 15x10 with 6.5 BS

I don't have any problems with them rubbing or anything either..and I like the deeper dish on the outside of the wheel..

 

And this is with a 10" slick

 

first off lemme say you have a beautiful car!!!!

and those wheels do look good but im looking to tuck them alittle more.

i have a set of 15x8 with a 4.5BS and they stick out too much

they fit just like the ones in the pics

 

ok so i have the rears figured out

so if i was to run a 15x4 up front what would the bs need to be? 1.75?

 

Thanks!.....You will want to go with a 15x10 w/ 7.5 BS or 15x8 with 5.5 BS
Just don't get really wide tires like 325's or they will stick out worse than mine even on the 7.5 BS

Yes 1.75 will work fine

 

Do you got any pics of your car from behind ??? i like the look of the 6.5 back spacing

 

Here you go... with MT ET Streets


This is a camaro with 7.5bs (and one of my favorite camaros on this board...Matt PM me if you don't want this pic used)


now you can see them back to back....

 

7.5 unless your rear is narrowed, those 6.5 bs wheels above stick out way too far. you can clear a 28x10.5 easily on the inside wheelwell with a 7.5" bs and the tire will actually tuck inside the wheelwell. My car is LOW and the tire sits 1/4"+ up inside the wheelwell, couldn't do that with a 6.5".

 

really 490 posts and you dont know how do use the damn search button or post in the right place

 

Never had a prob with mine clearance wise...the tires do not stick out past the rear quarter panels.. Then again I don't have my car lowered like and import either...

 

LOL why'd you take down those beautiful rear end pictures??

This import inspired ride went 1.45 60' on it's 3rd pass, with something like a 6.8:1 A/F on the stock rear sway bar. Clearly I should jack my car back up and put the wrong backspaced wheels on it to improve

 

LOL Well I would sure hope so with a 5600 stalled auto with 4.71 and a 389 stroker motor with aftermarket heads you would 60' in the 1.4s....
And I didn't take the "beautiful rear end pictures" down I was putting up another picture so people could see the difference....

Anyways for the OP this is a picture of my buddies car that has 7.5 Backspacing so you get an idea of what the difference is... A lot of Trans Am guys run the 6.5s however Camaros don't tuck them as well...



Another TA with 6.5 BS its really just a personal choice they both will work fine..
