15x8 with 4.5bs

[85greenturd]

I was thinking about ordering 15x8 wheels with 4.5bs from jegs. the only problem is i dont know how big of a tire i can go with that. any guesses? Pictures would be helpful.

I've got a Regal and 15x8 w/ 3.5bs was ideal spacing. I have pic's with slicks if you would like to see that - have had as big as 9x29.5x15 under it.

I've got 15x8 with4.5" bs on a Cutlass with 255/60, that's as large as I could go without rolling the lip or notching the frame

You will most likely need to run a spacer. My car currently has steel 15x8's with 4.5in backspacing if I remember correctly, and I use a 3/4in spacer with 275/60/15's

that's a 29.5x9-15 with a 1/2 spacer and they rubbed just barely on the front of the inner wheelhouse but I didn't drive it I was just trying different

tire sizes. I did do 1 burnout and it took the undercoating off the front of the inner wheelhouse

4" is ideal with 8" and a stock or lower ride height. Longer studs and 1/2" space will get you there.

If its a 7.5" rear, the stock axles will break before the lugs with spacers.
