    15x10 Rear questions

    I have accepted the challenge of trying to fit a 15x10 in the back of my e30. As i understand after some searching, if i go with 6" back spacing, i will be flush and safe of any rubbing in the inner lip. Will the inner barrel of the wheel fit? I was hoping to not poke too much and if they are not flush enough, just use spacers to fine tune fitment. Pics would help.

      What is that in back spacing? And i thought i needed to run a higher positive et or they would poke like mad.

        I thought the max amount of back spacing you can run in the back is 4.5? Correct me if I'm wrong

                If you click the link for my car in my sig I run 15x10s
                The wheels on my car a pretty much a zero offset. I run a 5mm spacer all around but that is so I can clear in the front and I want everything square.
                With the spacer the wheel sticks out about 2 inches or so.
                If that helps.....

                  Im running 15x10 +15 BBS RS on the rear of my car, and there is about 2mm of clearance from the rear trailing arm and the inner barrel. Anything higher offset than +15 is going to hit....

                  Here is a pic of it with temporary 205/50R15s (going to go 225/45 when i get an engine back in the car....)
