I am in the market for some 15" rear wheels for my 99 Vert. I was thinking of an 15 X 10 or 15 X 8. What backspacing is needed for the 8" & 10" wheels, I really do not want them to extend past the fender lip if possible. Pics would be helpful also.

15 x 8 = 5.5" backspacing
15 x 10 = 7.5" backspacing
major grinding of calipers will be needed.
here's pics of my car with the 15 x 10

Did you remove calipers to grind, or do it on the car? What did you grind it with? die grinder, 4" angle grinder? I know this sounds like stupid questions, but I really don't want to mess this car up. I am so used to old school hotrods.Quote:
