Hey what size rim/ backspacing will i need and what size tire. My car is lowered and sits on 275-40-17's right now. Some cars i see w/slicks the tires stick out and that would not work for me b/c the tires are tucked up in the fenders (no quads here), anyway i hope someone will have answer thanks guys, time to goo fast..

15x8 rim with 5.5 inch back space and 26x10 slick should work great.
