Just thinking about ordering some wheels , billet specialties or weld prostars and was wondering with a 15in rim with a 7.5 back spacing will the rims and tires tuck under the fender well or stick out thanks

Not sure on a 15" rim but on a 17 its fine. My concern with a 15 is the tire rubbing on the inside. If the rim is only a 10.5 you would only need 6.5 or 7

What is the width of the wheel?? I'm going to assume 15x10? If so, 7.5 would be fine.
