ok Ive got an 87 hatch that Im wanting to put draglites or rodlites on. My car is lowered a bit(coil cut) and Im wanting to know what is the best "fit" is for my ride? I want them to be kinda wide or at least have the "wide" look. What kind of backspacing am I looking for? How is backspacing measured? Also I know a guy with a set(used) of 15x7s for $400. Is that a good price??? Thanks guys!!

15x8's with a 5.5 inch backspace. A 275 tire mounts on it very nicely.

If you go to my car domain page you can see some pics of the tires mounted on my car when the color of it was maroon.
