Default Racestars... can't find right backspacing for rear.

From my understanding I need a 7.5 Backspacing if I'm going to run a 15 x10 wheel. Well on summits website and all over google for that matter I can't find anything but the 7.250. I've even seen people selling used 7.5 bs racestars in the classifieds but I can't find them anywhere new. Does anyone have a part number for the right racestars? Are the 7.250 the right ones?

I have the 15x10 7.25bs on order and have a lot of people waiting on test fitting. Worst case I'll use a quality 1/4" spacer, not a floater.

I also have LT1 brakes on my 9" so I will have better clearance.

I'll be posting up in the next few weeks. I have a lot going on so it might be a little while.

7.25 should be fine, It will push the wheel out towards the fender .25 compared to 7.5 bs. Using a .25 spacer would make the BS effectively 7.0 so I don't advise it.

I wonder why they carry the 15 x 10s with the 7.5 bs but no one else does. Thanks for the link. I'll be calling them tomorrow.
