15 x 8 and 10. Help with offsets!

[bigredguy]

Im looking into get a set of 15 x 8 and 10 aero race wheels for my car. I know those are the sizes i need, but i just dont know what backspacing, especially for the rear. If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Also what are some possible tire sizes that have a little stretch, preferable something not too meaty.

with 10j in the rear and ET0 you will have a lot of poke

You could possibly fit a 10 in the rear with an et10 and enough tire stretch/fender work.

[White325is]

if you want stretch and low. Id go with a 16in wheel. 15s are to small for that.
but whatever you choose be it a 15 or 16.
16 or 15x10 with a 6 inch back spacing. 16 or 15x8 with a 4.5 inch back spacing.

ok thanks 325is. Can anyone else back that up to clarify? And also would that 10 inch rear with 6 inch backspacing poke at all, or require fender work because i know the rear fenders are a bitch to work with

[White325is]

With a 15 depending on what size tire you go with you will need very little rolling.
no one needs to back up my info. I ran this setup in 16s.

Ok. How much poke did they have? I have a pictures of my car to see how low it is. The back is about an inch and a half lower and is going a half inch lower and the front is going an inch lower than it is now

[White325is]

I will answer this later when I get back home and post pics.

[bigredguy]

alright sounds good

[White325is]

This is 16x10 and 8 with 215/45 and 195/40 rear had a little rolling with a bat. front had the pinch on the lip smushed and camber set in.





on a early model.





Like I said, 16s look much better. :)

[bigredguy]

that does look amazing. are those 16s or 15s? Is that 4.5 inch backspacing on the 8 and 6 inch on the 10 like you posted above?

[FunfGan]

15's really suck for going low, ask me how I know

[bigredguy]

your car looks so good though. and its most likely a temporary thing, until i get the money to build a set of some 3 piece rims i have in mind

[White325is]

that does look amazing. are those 16s or 15s? Is that 4.5 inch backspacing on the 8 and 6 inch on the 10 like you posted above?

Yup, 16s and yup, 4.5 on the 8s and 6 on the 10s.

[bigredguy]

so that should work for the 15s as well. how much fender work did you do on the front fenders. Mine are rolled a decent amount, but still has more to go and the backs arent rolled at all because ive heard of a ton of difficulties when it comes to the rears.
