Default Rim Question
What size backspacing is needed for a 15x10 rim to fit on an 98-02? I was thinking 5.5 but not sure if it would rub inside or hang out of the fender lip

7.5" on a Camaro, personally I like 6.5" on a T/A. They have a wider rear 1/4 panel and the 6.5 ends up flush with the fender. I've got pics of my WS6 with 6.5 Prostars in a thread somewhere on here.

The Billet Specialty wheels are really nice.

The 15x10 needs a 7.5 BS

That's gonna look sweet!

BTW- The little lady did great this weekend!!!!!! Nice job.

3-women in a 13 car field and all 3 women were left standing...Hmmmm?
