So, if you were going to go 15", would you go 15x8 w/ 4.75 backspace? or a 15x7 w/ 4.25 backspace?

I am just curious for future reference. www.summitracing.com has each of these sizes in the soft-8 for about $38/ea.

I would go with the 15x7 rim unless you are plan on running a 12.50" wide tire,a 245-265 is much better mounted on a 7" rim.

Like tommund said the soft 8's will fit as long as you stay with 4.75" BS or less they will clear the calipers(by about 2mm) and not hit any steering linkage.
