Ok, so I have these HUGE Mickey Thompson Indy Profile tires H50-15 to be exact. They are stock diameter, with 10" tread and 12.3" section width when mounted on 10" rims. Problem is, I only have 7" rims . Squeezed really does not cover it. Only 7 inches or so of the tread is actually touching the ground (even on low PSI) because they are so squished in to fit the rims. I was going to get 9" or 10" rims for them, but I can't find ANY cheap rims that wide that have anywhere NEAR the right backspacing (5"-5.5" or so). I would even like just plain steel spokes, I'll paint them or whatever, and go with the "nascar look" I don't really care, I just care about the money. I'm I missing a cheap source?

Oh, and if anyone has anything I might be interested in, I have a fairly nice set of 15"x7" centerlines that were on my car to trade. Thanks.

Ok, so I found some on sale at summit for $80 a piece. They are 15x10 with 5.5" of back-spacing. I know that doesn't add up to stock distance, but it will actually be better than it is now, because it's 2" more backspacing, and only 1" farther out, so the tire will actaully be pulled in a little bit right? I ordered a set of 4, II 15x10, and II 15x8 (with 4.5" backspacing, to keep the stock ratio). Any thoughts, or heads up on what I will have to modify? the tires are 295-50-15 in the back and roughly 235-60-15 in the front. Will any modification be neccasarry in the front with one more inch of backspacing? and what am I looking at to get the rears to fit, if anything with 5.5" of BS? Thanks a bunch!
