Weld Draglite 15x10

[1Slow90coupe]

I have been looking around on EBAY for some draglites. I want to run a 275 tire. I see some 15x10's for sale with 5.25 backspacing. I have a 90 coupe with a stock rearend. Will they fit? Any suggestions on better size, maybe 15x9. What backspacing? If anyone is running a 15x10 Got Pics?

Thanks

They will stick out of the wheel well and most likely rub and look like crap.

i think you need 5.5 inch back spacing for 15x10's

nah, im running a 15x10 draglite with 6.5 inch backspacing and a half inch spacer and its perfect! and i mean perfect! im running a 295/50/15 with the fender wells beat in and there is absolutely no rubbing with stiff rear suspension. I have control arms all the way around and airbags with stock springs and it works great so far. the 295's are beefy too.

good luck

Why would you run a 6.5 b/s and then shim it out .5"? Makes no sense. Why not just buy a 6.0" to begin with? Or is that the only way a 10.0" rim comes? Got some pics of that rascal?

they dont come 6.0 only 5.5 or 6.5 mang

Same here ... 15x10 with a 6.5 backspace. I didn't need to run a spacer till I went to rear coilover and had rubbing on the inside. Now I run a 1/4" spacer and it's just enough.

Because the wheel needs to be able to clear the rear disc brakes (if you have 'em installed).

yeah, you can have the quad shocks w/ 5.5" backspacing or less (estimate)...more than that and you'd almost certainly have to remove them. I dented the case of mine a little bit to get mine to fit.

It's your car so you know it better than me, but from the top pic, it looks like it sticks out just a little bit....not way out, but "out" a little. Unless you have a stiff suspension, I bet it probably rubs on the fender lip if you go up a very steep incline at an angle.

It may BEARLY stick out, but it dosent look bad, looks perfect, when you see it in a parking spot walking out to it I always think DAMN, lol, but I have all stock suspensin and like I said dosent rub at all even on bumps unless theres peeps in the back seat
