Correct Backspacing For Welds??????

I had ProStars on my old Z28 in sig that I got from a guy off of CamaroZ28.com a while back. I don't know what the BS was on those but they had the infamous "Mexican hangout" in the rear. Trying to avoid that this time around.

I have a chance to get to Draglites here locally that are 4" BS in the rear. Don't know if that's enough or not.

Guys running Welds, what BS'ing do I need so the wheels DO NOT hang out in the rear??? I want them TUCKED IN NICELY

TIA, Jon

for 10" you want 7.5" backspace
for 8" you want 5.5" backspace

I have 6.5" on my Prostars and they fit perfectly. They are dead even with the top of the fender with 275/50 Nitto's.
