got a ? about wheel offset

[hilbilymike]

ok so im planning on ordering a set of rims now the question I have is I want 15x10 in the back but I want to keep it all in the wheel well I dont want the tire sticking out the side of the car .. im planning on running a 295/50/15 on the back and prob 235/60/15 for the front on 15x8 rims if anyone knows if this can be done please let me know

Well, I run a 0 offset on both front and back, but 15X8 in the rear....15X7 front...If you were to run such huge meats, either run 8" wheels, or make sure u got wagon coils and air shocks to keep the tires from hitting the fenderlip...

And ud also have to run one hellacious backspacing on that 15X10...

Oh yeah, i run 235/60R15, 275/60R15 respectively..

Hope this helps.

http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/409772 ok I found someone with the exact set up I want. So now I know that I can fit the tires for sure I was more wondering if I can get the backspacing right to keep it all inside the wheel lip I dont want it to stick out like the wheels on the car in the link

I would go with that setup, but 15X7s would work better up front...

So you think 15x8's would rub up front. I wanted to run 15x8s all around. Cant decide on a rim yet. I like the look of cragars but I want light weight aluminum. I found some rims in summit but don't know how good they would look on the vic.

Well, justin ran 255/60R15s on the front of his linkin with 15X8s and the lip of the fender would cut into the tire....it just didnt work well. On my car, I ran the same tire on 15X7s up front, and it did extremely well

I had 275/50R 15 tires on 15x8's on the front, and 15x10's with 295/50r 15 Radiat T/A's on one of my former wagons...with no clearance issues....your backspacing onm the rear wheels needs to be around 4 1/2-5", or more....check yourself, though...additionally, the sedans don't have the giant wheelwells of the wagon, I have clearance for a 12" wheel with proper backspacing on my current Box wagon, and I may end up using a pair back there....but I already have a set of 15x8's to go on the car.....
