The 15 X 8 with a 4 an a half backspace will be close to the arches when cornering , prob have to raise the front slightly , i can live with mine , two45x60x15 , with 4&half backspace.

Those 15x10 rears will prob hit the springs with 5&half backspace , i've got 15x10 , with 3 3/4 backspace , they hit the arches when the caltracs are unloaded , plus i've got mono leaves , stiffer than stock.

probably be better off with 10x15 , with 4&half backspace , two75x50x15 fit well on 10inch rims.

Remembered about me 'two' then Mark , all that whiskey ain't fried yer brain then.

:D

Cost me ££££££££££££££ to get the right wheels/backspace for the Pit , as i went through around 4 sets :shock: , Alan would'nt give away nowt about rim size or back space , all along telling me he had 8 inch rims when he had 10. Every time i got the tape measure out he would move the Charger. :cry:

True.

:D

I think Northhants Tyres let you go along there and try different sizes on your car before buying? Not sure if they still do but i'm sure they did once
