Backspacing on wheels

My Google works just fine.

What rims are you looking at? 15 x 7 really limits tire selection

Looking at the SSR STAR MAGS

Nice looking affordable wheel. I would suggest doing a frame notch, you would be able to easily run a 15 x 8 with 4.5 bs and a good sized tire or maybe even a 15 x 10 with 5.5 bs.

Will the 15x10 with 5.5 bs stick out the fender ?

No, but you would need the clearance on the inside from doing a frame notch to make it fit.

Are you familiar with the frame notch, that you do to add clearance for larger tires?

What "look" are you trying to achieve?

4.5" backspacing is about the max you can run without frame notching. Some people have even gotten away with 5" backspacing on unmodified cars.

Pretty sure the S10 Xtreme wheels are 4.5" BS. (Aren't they?) Guys usually run those with no issue.

I’ve got 15X8 with 4.5” with 255/60/15 on the rear with no modifications, and no rubbing.
