Well as most may know American Racing has a 4-6 back order on all there wheels, well the TT II's atleast. I ordered 15x10's for the rear w/ 5.5 BS They came in roughly 3 weeks! I ordered them through my work and they just got here, I was going to shill out all my cash on an Autoloc Kit this afternoon but looks like I have to pay for the second half of these wheels, still have to afford rubber and order my front 15x6 or 7's today. Daaaaaaaaaang :D :D I have a post for 15x6 or 7's im not sure which way to go yet. And a good BS so they sit nice and close to the fender

Time for another post,
What size wheel and tire on the front would look good with 15x10's in the back? Im thinking 15x7's now.

Yeah me too. I've got 235/60's on there now but there on 14's which are getting canned for the american racing's. I think I will get 15x7 for the front. What kind of backspacing should I order? I don't want them sucked in real far, as even as can be with the fender without any rubbing, it's dropped a tad too with 2" lower coils.

BS = Lay the wheel on it's face, measure from the wheel where the brake rotor touches the back of the wheel to the edge of the rim,
or
Lay a ruler over the rim edge not the tire and measure to the mounting surface
3 3/4 inches is stock for my 69 chevelle, a deeper backspacing will get a wider wheel in there
I am running 225-60-15's with a 3 3/4 BS in front and 275-50-15 with a 4 1/2 BS in rear
