Default Summit Wheels???

Been looking at the Summit brand of wheels for my T/A I see that there is only a 6.5 BS in the 15x10 Im wondering if they would stick out of the fender wheels or will they sit flush in the rear? I know it depends on tire with as well but what do you guys think anyone running a 6.5 BS on the 4th gen F-Bodys????

Thanks in Advance.

Looks retarded, but if you like the Charger from the movie Joe Dirt, go for it.

You saying from experience with the rims or just throwing a wild guess that they will stick out?

They also have an 8 inch wide selection the backspacing is 5.5 for them right to tuck under the fender weels?

15x8 needs a 5.5" BS and a 15x10 needs a 7.5" BS. A 6.5" BS on a 10'' wheel will make it stick out an inch farther out.

This is what happens when you put on a wheel with the wrong BS.

Speaking from experience, 6.5" will stick out, no where near flush.

speaking from experience with both my old 98 Camaro & my current 02 Trans Am, a Camaro with 15x10 requires a 7.5 backspacing while a Trans Am/Formula can get away with a 6.5 backspace. i run 27x11.50-15 Hoosier QTPs on my car & they do not stick out at the top. don't get me wrong, it's close but very do-able.
