Back spacing question....

I just got some prostars for the rear of my car and the guy that worked at the store said i should have a 5.5 bs on a 15x8 .... Now i did a search and seen that most ppl run 4.5 on an 8 inch rim ...How will this affect clearence with a 28x10.5 et drag and will it look right???? Thanks for all of your help in advance....

I use to have 5.5BS prostars on mine. 5.5 actually tucks the tire in more and looks better in my opinion. You have to make a little room at the front of the rear inner wheelwell at the bottom (big hammer) Other that that they will work perfectly

I just posted this in another topic but here it is again...

I have 15x8 weld prostars with 5.5 b.s. and i am running M/T ETStreets that are 28x11.50. I had to do a little pounding to the inner fenders just to make sure they didnt rub on a hard launch.
Here is a couple of pics to show what they look like.
