post pics, i want to see how the 15x10s look with the 6.5 backspacing, i'm used to only seeing that 7.5 was the correct backspacing for that size rim on an fbody

Can't post them from my phone but I can do it when I get home. I've argued this for a long time. A 15x10 with a 6.5 inch BS will work as long as you aren't lowered and running a 26 inch tall tire. I'm running a 28" but a Firebird has wider fenders than a Camaro so you can get away with it.

the correct offset for a fbody is 7inches on a 10 wheel. so either 7.5 or 6.5 will work. and yes slowandrich it should work just checked to make sure ull have atleast 1 inch of clearance from the top of tire to the fender. ive got 1 1/2 inches clearance and i havent rolled my fenders yet.
