Does anyone know the correct backspacing for a 3rd Gen with 15x10 wheels?
I have search the forums before I posted this. I am wanting to install a Weld Draglite or Pro Star 15x10 on the back of my 3rd gen camaro. What is the correct backspacing for this size wheel. I don't want the wheel to stick out. I have heard 5.5 and 6.5 what backspacing will work the best. I will be running a 26x10 slick. Thanks

I also use 5.5". It really depends on what tires you intend to use. If I wanted to try and squeeze more rubber under the fenders, I would consider using 4.5" to push the wheel out a bit more.
I've used 3.5" backspace rims when I had shorter 26" tall tires. They stuck out past the fenders. The 5.5" tuck them inside real nice.
