Wheel offsets and tire sizes for Draglites? Wheel offsets for Draglites?
I want to put 15x10 Weld Draglites on the back of my car. What backspacing is working for people without spacers?
Also, what is the tallest tire you can use with those wheels on a stock 2001 T/A without trimming wheelwells?
Thanks people,
Gary

none will work without spacers unless you do major grinding to the rear calipers..
if you use a 5/16 spacer you will have to do moderate grinding.
7.5 backspace no clearance issues at stock ride height on a 27" tire. 28's or lowered will requre rolling the fender..
you also may have to do some wheel well massaging to keep the wider tires from rubbing inside..

15x10 with a 7.5 backspace is what I ran. You will need spacers, like Mighty said, unless you grind the calipers a ton. My 26s didn't rub at all, but my 28x10.5 slicks rubbed the rear bottom of the lip (bottom of bumper cover). They rub worse on a Trans Am, I had a Formula.
