To all those members with a stock size rear and weld wheels... What rear backspacing do you use?

I had a set of weld draglites that I bought used. Fronts were 15x4 and the rear was 15x8 with 10" slicks. They fit perfectly with no rubbing, and I dont remember what the offset of the wheel was.

for the welds question: 15x8's need a 4.5" backspacing and for 15x10's, you'll need a 5.5" backspacing.
