ordered some rims from Summit and realized that it would not fit my car, I cancelled it, now I'm going after new wheels. I know that the backspacing of our cars is 3 and 3/4's, the wheels that I want to buy are Mickey Thompson's but have a 3 and 5/16's backspace, do any one of you know if (3 5/16's) wheels will fit our (3 3/4's) cars? Thank You so much.

Re: backspace

BS for 15x8 rears would be 4.5 or 5.5

BS for 15x10 rears would be 5.5

the skinnies front are only offered in 1 bs for the 15x3.5 and 15x4 rims.
