Default Proper back spacing for a 15x4 wheel?

I was about to purchase the summit racing fast five wheels, but I noticed last minute that the 15x4 has a 1.75 in bs. Is that the proper bs? I know the rears
(15x8) is suppose to be a 5.5 bs, I'm just unsure about the fronts and I dont want to purchase them if I cant use them do to caliper issues. Thanks guys

most run 2.25 on the 15x4s. I'm willing to bet you are still going to have to clearance the calipers with those wheels



FYI: my Billet Specialties run a 1.625 on a 15x4 and fit perfect

I use 1.50"

You can use anything from 1.50"-2.25" the bigger the backspace the farther in they will go. But chances are you will have to grind with those wheels.
