Someone else posted this on here for me..... but you gotta know the stock back spacing first.

The backspacing of the stock wheel? I just need to know the max back spacing the car can take before the wheels hit the wheel well or something else. I dont want to do it the way the tech article says too if someone already knows. Thanks

Jordan

I don't really know what the max size/backspacing is for a bird... But I just went through this with my Charger... I ended up special ordering some 15x10's with 5 inch backspacing for that.

You can special order whatever backspacing you need thru Summit... but it costs more. $159 actual versus the $134 advertised price in the catalog for 15x10's.

Here's the place that actually makes them: http://www.cragarwheel.com/
