Post What Backspacing for 15x8 welds?

I am about to order some new Welds for the back of my 1995 Transam and was thinking something like 2in. outside and 6in. BS inside. I have some centerd 4 and 4 and they stick out a bunch. What are you guys running. Thanks Later

For the 15x8 Weld rim you will need a 5.5" BS.

5.5" is correct. In fact, I have a pair of Weld draglites for sale 15x8, 5.5" bs, drilled for rim screws, excellent condition and less than 9 months old for $220 shipped if you want to save some cash. I need to go to a 10" rim.

Dave I am thinking about it but didn't want the rims drilled for screws if you know what I mean. I am not building an all out dragcar yet just a good 11 sec. streetcar. Thanks anyway I will think about it. Later.
