I'm ordering the Darkstars tomorrow for my Pewter WS6:
17x9.5 (7.00 backspacing) for the fronts and 15x10 (7.5 backspacing) for the rears. Here is good question for anyone who's recently ordered 15x10 rears; what backspacing did you end up getting? I've got quotes from Beefcake Racing and Modify My Mustang and Modify My Mustang was the cheapest. I looked on WS6 Store and Summit Racing and the backspacing they show for the 15x10 is 7.25. How did you guys running the 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing get them in that backspacing when I don't show it as an option anywhere I've looked?

I found out from the place I ordered mine through that the Race Star 92 Drag Star Dark Star wheels never came in a 7.50 backspacing; it was always a 7.25 backspacing. Race Star had it incorrectly marked when they first came out and has since made the correction.

Well, after driving around quite a bit over the weekend, I think I am going to have to grind on the calipers some. When slowing down, I could hear some slight rubbing, which I assume is from the rear wheels. I'm going to check tonight and see if I can figure out where they are rubbing at.
Edit:
You guys think the best way to check is to take a piece of paper and see if I can get it to slide between the wheel and caliper? That's the only place I can figure it would be rubbing at. Also, why am I only hearing the rubbing when I'm slowing down/on the brakes? If it's a rubbing issue, wouldn't I hear it at all times?

The car is running great. It's amazing how a heads/cam swap can bring new life to a vehicle and make it that much more of a beast. Power is addicting for sure and I see a turbo build in my near future.
