I have a 95 240sx and I am ordering weld rt-s wheels 15x10. I am doing a 2jz and aiming for 7-800hp+ that's the reason I'm going so wide I plan on running m/t street radials. Does anyone know the backspace I need to order?
Thanks in advance

Thanks. So what I've found out so far people have done 5.5-6.5 anyone know if the 5.5 stick out a lot?

10"s arent even that wide, especially for the power youre looking for.

its simple math. if you have a 10" rim and it has 5.5 (6.5) inches of backspace, you will have 5.5 (4.5) inches of front space.

go look in 'fitment' forums and what not to see what sizes people are running.

I have a set of spinwerks in that size, I don't know the backspace off the top of my head, but I can check when I get home. The back was easy, the front is the problem, are you just doing a pair in the back?

Yea just doing the back for now. I ordered 2 weld RT-s rims 15x10 with 6.5 backspace with 295/55r15s on them so I guess I'll see for myself

what size tire/rim you went with back space?

I plan to run these with 6.25 backspacing these dont need special lugs http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/SVE-10071653D/Mustang-SVE-Drag-Wheel-15X10-Dark-Stainless-94-04

Same exact setup I have the only thing is that I had to use ksport suspension because it was hitting my kyb struts(which were coming out anyways) but the clearance from the ksport to the inside of the tires is VERy minimal. It's like a 1/4 inch but I don't think it's going to hit.

It's a 15x10 with 6.5 back spacing with a 295/15/r15 m/t street radial I believe any 10 inch wide rim you need to go with 6.5 and under back spacing I ordered a 7.5 on accident and I was hitting all kinds of things trying to put the rim on

Yea the wide body should also help fit a lot better. I need to get my fenders flared a bit I've just been waiting on my suspension to come in which it came last night
