Re: 15x10 RIM HELP!

To get 3" out past the fenders, your gonna need like a 7" backspacing. Your not gonna find 10" wheel like that anywhere.

With a 4th gen axle under the car, you go use a 5" backspacing wheel to do it.

Re: R3DN3CK RIM HELP!

Why do you want the wheels to stick out 3 inches from the fenders?

15x10 with a 3.5-4.5 backspacing will make them hang out.
