Not for a 15x10, 3.5" would stick out. It should be around 4.5 or 5"

I have 15x10 with 5.5 backspace. I had to notch the frame to clear them.

not too worried about them sticking out, or having to roll the fender lip. i am trying to stay away from making any changes to the frame.......i really appreciate the help guys


so would 3.5 backspace work?

Sure, if you wanna run air shocks and jack the back of the car up. With only 3.5 b.s. on a 10 inch rim, they are gonna stick out beyond the wheel opening. Not my car, but if i were you, I would stick with an 8 inch rim.

i would try a 15x10 on a 4.5" backspacing and roll the fender lip. a 3.5 will stick out pretty far and look stupid i think.

i hear ya, mostly concerned about the clearance between the frame. and rolling the fender lip is no big deal at all.

Rolling the fender wont matter any beacuse a 10" rim w 3.5" of backspace is going to stick out past the fender a good 1" or so. BTW what kinda tire are you using? is it a full slick or a dot slick like an ET street?

I think they are talking about using one with 4.5 backspace, but I THINK it will still rub the frame.
