Default Rim Help

I have a basically stock 2000 z28 camaro and want to change my rims but im unsure what size I need. I would like to go with a set of weld wheels fat's in rear and skinnies up front. My question is what backspace rear rim do I need and do I go with a 15x8 or 15x10 , Thanks

15X10 back, about a 7.25-7.5" BS should do it

keep in mind you'll likely have to grind the cooling fins off of you brake calipers to fit 15 inch rims over them.

This. 15s are going to require a little work to make them fit.
