Wheel sizing

Postby Benji » Wed Aug 10, 2011 8:01 pm

So i want to get a set of pro comp series 52 wheels in 15 for my 98 path and wonder if anyone had any insight for a aggressive look that would place the wheels just on the outside or even with the stock fender flares. What widths and back spacing should I be looking for at first I was looking at the 15 by 10 with 3.75 back spacing but then did the math and figured they would sit a mile outside the fenders and then thought that 15 by 8 with 3.75 should fit aggressively just outside. Am I right with the math behind this? Stock wheels from I tried to figure out are 15 by 6.5 with a 5" back spacing. Is this correct? I know sizing of car wheels as I drift my other car (nissan Silvia) and fit is a big thing in drifting but I am new at the sizing of 4 by 4 type. Could I get some insight please?
