i put on 15x10's with a 5-1/4" b/s with 29-12.50LT15 sportamns on the rear, but it rubbed on turns. but that should give you an idea how much you can go. good luck.

i think hes refering to his camaro.
to find the back spacing lay the rim with the face down, get a straight edge and lay it flat on the lip of the rim and get a ruler and measure the distance from the back of the center of the rim to the flat edge and that will be the backspacing.
