Default Will my tires be past the fender well??

I have been looking into getting a set os Telstars from Centerline. The problem is that they don't sell a 15*8 with a 5.5 in backspace. They sell them with a 5 in b.s. will this cause my tires to be past my fenderwell? I don't want the car to look like crap. Thanks

Centerline just started making them with 5.5" backspace. Summit part number CLL-135807547.

I have them with 5" backspace and they aren't too bad, but the new 5.5" backspace would look better. Check out this guys site to see what 5" backspace looks like:

I would think it would take more like 7.5" backspace for a 15x10 wheel.

7.5" is the right backspacing for a 10 inch wide rim.

I have a shortened differential[3 1/2-3 3/4"shorter],on the track I use 5.5 backspace GTA 16 X 8 rims with 10.5X26X16 ET STREETS.On the street I have to use 1 3/4" spacers to be able to use my 16X8 salad shooters with 245X50X16 tires.

I want to change my track rims to 10X15 ProStars to run 275X50X15 DRs,what backspacing will they have to be to fit in lieu of my 5.5" BS 16X8 GTA rims?

Good question?

Thank you for your help!
