What wheels do you plan to run? Please stay away from the cheaper Summit/Jegs wheels as they do not come in the right sizing nor do they fit over the brakes without spacers or grinding. I'd look into a Weld RTS wheel. They come in black or polished, are SFI cert'd, lightweight, streetable, and affordable. For the front the 1.50" backspace will clear the stock brakes, and for the rear (assuming you have a stock length rear axle) 15x10 with 7.50" backspace in the Medium pad clearance will fit perfect.

For a stock length rear-end, we normally set them at 7.5", the fronts we set between 1.75"-2" which tucks the wheels in nicely.

Give us a call if you have questions about our Bogart wheel designs.
