Default Holeshot Wheel Question

I'm looking for a 15x10 wheel. All I see people talking about is 15x10 with 7.5 BS, yet their site only shows 7-7/8 BS. Can anyone explain? Will the 15x10 with 7-7/8 BS fit on a stock fbody rear? Can anyone post pictures of these wheels on one?

Thanks

Looks like a range from 2 7/8" - 7 7/8". That means you can get any of those as a backspace.

they offer the backspacing in 1" increments. so to answer your question, yes that is the backspacing you would need.

keep in mind there is SUBSTANTIAL grinding on the brake calipers for these to fit.

i run 15x8 with a 5 7/8 BS with grinding and spacer.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Does anyone have any pics with the 15x10's and 295-315 tire? Or pics of before/after caliper grinding for these to fit?

Thanks again.

i would highly advise against running them on the street. i have done it out of necessity but when you pick one up and see how light they are, you'll know why its not the best idea

Thanks, maybe I'll keep watching for some used Welds. I was asking about these because I found a decent deal on them.
