Default Weld rts backspace help

I need help figuring out the backspace for my 15x10 wheels. 7.5", 6.5", or 5.5" backspaces. Which one should be the best. Rear end is narrowed a total of 1". Tires are Mickey Thompson 295/55/r15. Thanks.

since your saying your rear is narrowed a "total" of 1" I take it your narrower a 1/2" on each side. With that said, you need the 7.5 bs wheels. BUT, even though that's stock back spacing for a 15x10 wheel yours will be tucked in that 1/2" that's your rear is narrowed on each side. If you got the 6.5 bs wheels it would push the wheel out a 1/2" from stock location. Hope that helps you.

I agree ^^^^^. I have 2" cut off each side of my rear, I wanted the wheels to have that tucked look so I got my 15x10s in 6.5" bs and its perfect for me. It dosnt stick out. So 7.5 should look good.
