15" rim with 4.5" backspacing - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I have been looking at rims for a while and summit has these rims and i like the look a lot. My only question is will the 10" rim stick out past the edge of the fender with a 10" tread tire with 4.5" back spacing and 0 offset? The fronts are going to be 8" rims with skinnier tires.

Im thinking about powder coating the interior of the rim blue to match my car and leaving the lip polished along with the lugs and center cap.

Thanks chas

well, its impossible to have a 10" wheel with 4.5" of backspacing and 0 offset.

A 10" wheel with 5.5" of back spacing has 0 offset, and its a very common size for 3rd gen rears, but it sticks out a little. 6 woujld be better, 6.5 is best, but requires mods the the wheel well, more or less depending on tire size.

those are pretty good looking wheels, its a shame they are crappy 1pc cast wheels
