Default 15 X 10 Jeg/Summit Star?

I was told by a local guy that the 6.5 Backspacing will work on are car's as long as you dont go massive on the tire? I was looking at running a 26*11.50*15, anyone ever ran this set up? Any problems? I know 7.5 is the correct back spacing we need but if 6.5 work's ill run them

As long as you don't go with taller than a 26 you should be fine on stock ride height. Lowered you may start getting close to the tire. I ran a 28 on my 15x10 with a 6.5" and didn't have any problems, but Firebirds have wider fenders and the lips were rolled.

Also, keep in mind that the guy in the picture is running a 27" tall tire. A 26" will have another 1/2" of clearance from the fender and the top of the tire.

A 15x10 with a 7.5 back space would be better. I know Weld makes this wheel.

Maybe that's why because the guy that told me it would be fine has an LT1 T/A

They will still work on a camaro if u run a 26. If you are wanting to run 28's then I would go with the 7.5" BS.
