Need some help with vision wheels and Backspacing please!!
Hello all, this is my first time posting here. Great site btw!
So the problem I have at hand is (hopefully) simple; I'm throwing the idea around of buying some new rims and tires because the old rims are banged up and I need new tires anyways. I found a set that I like by a company named Vision. They are the polished 521 nitro series I believe. What I would like to do in a perfect world would be to get 15x10 wheels for the back and 15x7 OR 15x8 wheels for the front. The specs for the rear 15x10 wheels are as follows:
15x10 wheels have 0mm offset with 5.5" BS.
I was was planning on putting 275/65-15 or 275/60-15 tires on the rear.
Could any of you wheel gurus give me an idea of this would look alright in terms of the wheels/tires sticking out too far? I have also been told to use 6.5"BS wheels, but I have also been told that you need to start cutting out bump stops and using the BFH. Im not too sure if I'd want to do that unless the 5.5" BS really looks THAT bad. If you all could maybe post some pics of what this wheel/tire combo looks like on your car/someones car or if you'd have any other suggestions id really appreciate it! What do you think of Vision wheels? Thanks in advance for your help.

I am still doing some looking around at the moment, I am also taking into consideration going with 15x8 inch wheels in the back with the same tires and 15x7 inch wheels in the front. I am still unsure of the best backspacing and/or offset to use.

15X10 with 6.5" BS. They will fit fine with the bumstops off and some BFH taps lol. Weight is 20lbs vs the front GTO spare is 14lbs. Great setup for cheap.

I just take measurements from et0 15x8 vision 531.This is original -85 z28 disc brake rear(delco moraine 10.5" disc) and adjustable panhard bar(rear centered).
From outside wheel lip to wheel arc=30mm,so 10x15 et0 wheel lip will be 5mm inside from wheel arc,but it will hit at driver side to hand brake cable bracket ,which is back side of wheel.Passenger side is front of wheel, and inside of wheel lip will be very close of bracket(maybe 1-2mm gap).
