How wide can I run in the back?

[97stanger]

In the rear I am running an Eibach pro kit, removed quad shocks, upper/lower control arms, and a 15x9 Weld Pro Star wrapped in 275/60/15 ET Street Radials. I am getting rub, but will be rolling my fenders here soon. For those of you running a 15x10, first off are you running a 6.5 backspace instead of the 5.5 as you would on a 15x8? Also, what size tires are you running on a 15x10 without running into problems? Any pics would be appreciated!

Do you really want me to answer this? lol

My old car, i ran 15x10s with 6.5Bs with 275/60-15 with no rub and nothing rolled...

If you went to a Eibach Drag spring, thats only like 1/2" Talled you would stuff 325-50-15 under there as seen here...

Another one of my Fav pics of 325s on our car....

 

[97stanger]

good stuff Frank

I dont know if I want to go crazy with a 325. I have been doing some research and I think I'm going to go with the MT 295/55/15.

Heres how my car sits now:

And heres our car with a 295/55/15, 15x10 w/ 6.5 bs:

You could fit a 345 under there if you really wanted to....the offset of the wheels have to be right.

I run 315s right now and have 0 problems at all but had slight rubbing on hard cornering with 335s on the inside.

I think im gonna try out some 345s like 330 just because Im a dick

Problem is the height. I am already getting rub on my setup

A Buddy of mine might be buying a set for his new edge, if he ends up getting them ill post pics aswell. You found them on ebay i take it? Some guys on here don't like em but everyone i know or that sees them in person think it looks sick...

 

[330CubeGt]

I like the 295s alot!

 

[Knuckles@Empire]

how much of a drop is the rear spring you have in it atm?

Yea, paid 240 shipped for a set.

Im sure it looks sick dude, I had 335s and it looked amazing...

Im kinda worried about the height but hopefully I will be fine.

If it rubs, its rubs, w.e

Mine has H&R Race springs in the rear and it rubs real lite, scuffs the tires no cutting or anything like that and you can barley hear it in the car and i have everything out but the drivers seat as of right now. Overhauling the interior lol good time to make a trip to the track...

What kinda wheels are you going to run.

 

[330CubeGt]

Knuck- that car in your sid running yet?

oo, yea,I actually have nothing in my car but a driver seat right now as well hahaha.

Same wheels that are on it now.

 

[97stanger]

yeah I'm not super sure why I'm getting a lot of rub and it seems like others dont get much at all. I'm only lowered with a Pro kit, but my sidewall has some pretty deep cuts on the driver side

Wheels stick out like there a 4.5 or 5" BS i could be wrong but other pics ive seen with that wheel they sit in more.

Yea, sounds like you have a 4.5 bs wheel?

 

[97stanger]

no they are 15x9 with a 5.5 bs

 

[97stanger]

I may even just get the tires and put them on these wheels, it says recommended width of 8-10.5, so doesnt make sense for me to buy 15x10's when I can put the 295's on my 15x9 that I already have

Yea, you can definitely run 295s on those with that sidewall

@330 Alas no =( not yet curse me! its the same sad story real life gets in the way, my ladys parents lost there job so were supporting them atm, im like 97.999999% close to being done too!

@stanger get some stock springs out back with a coil cut out of em! best spring setup you can have without using coil overs, also might give you a little more clearance out back for sidewalls
