Did you hammer in any inner fenders? Yours look pretty wide on the 8" rim.
What street tire size does that equate to?

Thanks

No hammering to the lip, but I did the inner fender a little. I think they're close to a 275mm wide tire.

Does a 4.5'' backspacing stick out further than a 5.5" BS ?

I have a chance to pick up a set of 15x 8 with 4.5'' BS

Will they stick out or look good?

OLDDD pictures of my car, but these were 15x8 Draglites with 26x10.5 ET Streets. I am not 100% sure on the BS though, either 5.5 or 4.5, Im guessing 4.5!

I have 15x8 w/ 4.5 inches of backspacing on my car. They fit and dont rub. The tires are Hoosier QTP 26x9.5. The tread width is only 8 inches wide though.
