Wheel/tire need help asap. Blew out rim.
I broke a wheel today. Kaboom. Im at the shop overnight because i need a new rim. Im going to use this as an excuse to upgrade. I would like to stuff a larger rim onto the rear....
It is stock and needs to fit with no mods..
15x10 with what backspacing? 15x9?
Im not.picky. just want wider than the 15 x 7 w/4.5 b.s

A 15x8in. rear wheel will allow you to run a 255/60r15 in. tire.
Perfect IMO.
Here's what that looks like with 15x7in. wheels in the front with 235/60r15 in. tires and 15x8 in. wheels in the rear with 255/60r15 in. tires.
The rear tire is 1in. larger in diameter giving it a slight rake. These wheels only come in 3.75 BS but fit with the bulge of the tire in the rear flush with the flair of the well. Just the way I want them.
