draglites what's the right size and backspacing for a set of draglites out back and skinnies in the front? I was lookin at 15x8s or 15x10s. But what is the backspacing supposed to be? I want the widest I can have without having them stick out, and without them rubbing on the inside. They're going to be under a 415rwhp + 150TNT car. I want to run like 26x10.5x15's or so. Then theres the fronts. What size for them? Im just a rookie when it comes to draglites, thanks for the help.
I suggest talking to SJM about Bogarts, but if you are set on getting Welds, here's the BS breakdown:
15x3.5 = standard
15x8 = 5.5
15x10 = 7.5
Fronts will fit with 5/16 spacer. Rears will require you to grind the calipers. Most run them with 5/16 spacers to reduce the amount of grinding.

I received my 15x10 Drag Lites last week and began to do the grinding on the calipers necessary to install the wheel. Some one had mentioned in another post that a lot of grinding was needed to make them fit. I have done alot of grinding and they are still rubbing. Does anyone have a before and after picture of the caliper or even just an after grinding of the caliper picture that could be posted? This would maybe help me to know that I am going in the right direction. My caliper seems to hit mostly at the front center of the caliper. Thanks for any help with this......

As for the post above regarding grinding, you pretty much have to cut a 45* slice off the front. The better your grinder, the quicker it is. I used a industrial 4" electric angle grinder. It cut right through quickly.
