WHEELS
Please help a fella in need. I want to order a set of 15" Cragar Drag Lites for my 89 Firebird but I have no idea what backspacing or width or bolt pattern that I need. I really want a 10 inch wide rim but I dont know if it will fit (I dont want them to stick outside of the fender wells). What is the widest rim that I can get inside of my 89's fender well and what backspacing will I need? I also want a 7 inch rim up front so what backspacing up there?
THANKS IN ADVANCE

My 15X9 warriors stick out of the wheel well about a half inch, If you have drum rear brakes 4.5in back spacing is the most I could go, 5in rubbed. Disc brakes you should let you go 5in but no guarantees. I would say there is no way you will get 10in rims to fit entirely in the wheel well, 9's maybe, 8's definately.
