Default Backspacing question

Well ill give a quick rundown....I want to get a set of rims for the track....15x10 for the rears and either 15x4 or 15x3.5 for the fronts.

Im looking for any company at this point it doesnt matter, though they need to fit a certain criteria.

I do not mind having to grind down the caliper at all, its just that I do not want to use longer studs or spacers in the rear wheel, and spacer up front would be fine.

What would be the right backspacing for the fronts and rears, and does a company even make them with the correct backspacing.

hey man..... http://www.sjmmanufacturing.homestead.com/ they used to be a sponsor, and the guy who runs it, Steve, is great to deal with. he can provide you with the correct bs and you will not need to worry about grinding. but, since you don't mind doing that, you can always go with Weld wheels. for them, a front size of 15x3.5 with a 1.75" bs. for the rears, a 15x10 with a 7.5" bs. as an alternative, you can also get a 15x8 with 5.5" bs.

later,
Dave
