Welcome Josh!

What size rim are you trying to go with -- 15", 16", 17", 18" or larger? I am pretty sure that if you try for 15" you will need to grind the heck out of your calipers to make them fit. I believe that Bogart is the only aftermarket 15" wheel that will bolt up without modification.

15x10 with a 7.5 backspace.

[Nastyls1]

15 and thanks a lot for the info Yea I had to do the same for my mustang

[pajeff02]

We run 15" x 10" on the rear of our car for the track, but I didn't have a clue on what the backspacing is.

[WS6SP33D]

A lot of people run a 7.5 bs simply to get away from the tire sticking out farther than the car. 6.5 bs is also very common because it is aligned out even with the body panel (which has been noticed to hit on hard launches or lowered cars) and 5.5 sticks out around an 1" on the sides.

Alot of people run 15x7 but me i have always liked the big and little setup (no the best for daily but a lot of people do it) and they are 15x4 or 15x3 1 1/2" bs with 1/2" spacers.

15" x 4" up front with Hoosier front runners.

[Nastyls1]

Rears are a personal option in what you like, what type of weather you have and how much rubber you actually want hitting the ground lol. Nitto, mt, are prob my two favorites. bfg's are good but very noisy. I will post some pics as soon as i finish up my new 9" of the setup i have.

Here is my T/A on prostars, rears are 15x10 with a 7.5 backspace, 275/50/15 and fronts are 15x3.5. This is when it was lowered on eibach pro kit.

[cpop98ws6]

Thanks! Looked even better when we were lined up at the tree together.

[Nastyls1]

They look good thanks all you guys for info

[cpop98ws6]

I use spacers up front, and be prepared to do a lot of grinding on your rear calipers.

[Nastyls1]

Yeah That would be good your car looks really good fitment perfect

[WS6SP33D]

You remember what size studs you used on your fronts with the spacers?

[cpop98ws6]

They are the Moser 12x1.50x2 1/2 on the front and On the rear I have the strange bolt on studs that are 1/2x20x3
