Anyone have pictures of either 15x10 6.5 backspacing draglites or 15x8 5.5 backspacing both with 275/50/15 tires on them? Preferably a drag radial like a MT ET radial. Im switching over to draglites and Im trying to figure out what to do with the rears. I can get a real nice deal on some 15x8's but Id rather have 15x10's.

Thanks stangnet!

the 15x10 with a 6.5 BS wont work with a fox i am pretty sure.

6.5 inches of backspace is ALOT and while the rim may go on the car good luck i dont think you will be able to get a tire on it.

i run 15x8s with a 5.5 BS and it tucks under the fender good and i run a 255 tire at it comes within a 1/4" or so of rubbing my flipped quads
 

LS-what?

are you running quadshocks?

in my first post i was thinking of my car that has quads. i think it could work with quads. thats why i was checking if u had them. sorry for the confusion, and if you have quads then i am stumped because it sure dont look like i could fit that combo on my car without removing the quads ;o
