I'm ready to order some new meats (drag radials) and I'm looking towards the 295/50/15. I hear alot about the backspacing and the two numbers I hear are 5 1/2" and 5 5/8". Which backspacing do I need to fit 15x10" wheels without any modifications to the wheelwells? Thanks :TU:
With that tire having a 12.2" section width, you will be fine with the 5.5" backspacing. Only if you go to the larger 325/50R15 which has a 12.9" section width do you need to go more to the 5.625" backspacing. Trust me, I bought more than one set of 15x10's with different backspacing and have tried a number of sizes from the 275/60R15's on up. Good luck. Phil
