I want to buy a set of draglites for my 95. I was wondering what the right backspacing was so they don't stick out of the quarters. I'll be running a 10 inch tire. And is there a certain spacing for the fronts because I was given a set of front runners to use and those stuck out past the fenders to. I had quarter inch wheel spacers on.
Thanks

I did a search and couldn't come up with a definate answer. I guess I'll go with 15x8 with 5.5 bs. But what about the fronts. Seems like no one knows what will work. Anyone with draglite skinnies what size did you use and do they stick out? I don,t want the car to look ghetto.
Thanks

Backspace requirement is determined in part by wheel width. For a 15x8, the 5.5 BS is good. You could even get away with 6.5". For 15x10, you want a 7.5" BS.

In the front, I have the 15x3.5" Welds with 1.75" BS, and with the required 5/16" spacer, I think they are too close to the outside of the fender. Not sticking out, but very close to sticking out.

Click on "Trailer Queen.... " below for a photo with the 15x3.5's and 15x10's. The outside of the 15x8 5.5" BS will sit in the same place as the outside edge of the 15x10 7.5" BS.
