Wheels and tires?

Well I'm hoping to purchase some nice wheels soon. Just curious what you gys are using? I'm looking into the Weld Alumastars and a set of Hoosier QTP's.

Does anyone know the correct backspacing though? I'm using a 4th gen width rearend and I dont want to tub or anything. I was planning a 15x10

Yeah a little expensive for my blood but they do look damn good. Also looking at the Billet specialties street lites.
