I can get a nice set of mismatched offset weld draglites.The rims are 15x9 with one set having a 3.5 backspace and the other a 4.5
which ones would be the best fit for front and rears?
3.5 in front or 4.5?

 

4.5 to 5.5 backspacing

 

with a 15x9 you would most definitely need the 5.5bs
for fronts i just run the 15x4 with the only backspacing choice you get. As these are a drag racing rim, I don't see the point in putting a 15x7 or similar front onto the car since they will bend if you take corners too fast. Doesn't sound like your good deal will bolt up to your car.

 

and i was told on this thread that 3.5 backspacing would work

15x4?
both set i am looking at are 15x9
are you saying run skinnies on the front?

 

yes I'm definitely saying skinnies up front. I don't see why you are asking about 15x9" front rims too? Either way to not have the tire stick out a ton you'd need 5.5bs for the rears without a doubt.

 

reason i am asking is the set(all 4 rims ) are 15x9. I can get smaller rims but i do not want a street driven car with skinnies...looks kinda stupid.
what i am sking is about the backspacing.One thread says 3.5 on 8 inch rims will be ok.
now this thread has 3.5 and 4.5 BS rims and now neither will fit?
