hey all whats up well I'm in the process of buying my wheels and was wondering how 15x10" wheels will fit. The wheels I want only come with 5" of backspacing and I think you need 5.5". So can I get these and 1/2" spacer or is there something I'm missing. thanks in advance

p.s. pics of 15x10" wheels would be a plus.

The more backspacing the more inwards it goes, so the 5" will stick out more then the 5.5. I really think those 15x10s will stick out way too far, you need more like 6.5" backspacing to make them flush with the fender.

i have heard people can run 10" welds with 5.5 spacing and roll the fender i wouldnt use wheel spacers if all possible....less stud= more risk........

I've run with both 5.5" and 6.5" BS, and the 6.5" fits much tighter/better. You can run a 5.5" and it will stick out, a 5" will only stick out even more. I wouldn't want to run them personally.
