Hey everyone. I have decided that it will be time for new rims soon. I am not sure on what backspacing I want to go with though. I am planning on running a 15x8 wheel, with my 32x11.5. I want the tires to stick out 1.5-2" past the fenderwells. What backspacing should I go with? Should I go with a 15x8, or a 15x10. I dont mind trimming some sheetmetal if I have to. I already rub on the swaybar and radius arm at full lock, and dont mind if I still do. I just want a really aggressive stance.

Thanks,
Andy

The standard answer is 15x8 with 3.75-inch backspacing.
 






Yeah, um has it right, and that is probably what I will get when I get the $$$.
I just figured I'd help the guy out from who I was going to buy from.

I am running 10's on the back and 8's on the front with 33's. It makes the tire stick out about the same from body. It also clears better in the front the 10's rubbed on my 91.
