So I like the look of the Fuch 5-bolts and want to put them on my car, but I need a deep backspace set. I was hoping to find out if anyone knows where to get them with the centers moved...

Want 15x9 with a 4-1/2" to 5" backspace and 15x10 with 5-1/2 to 6... maybe 15x11 with 6-1/2 to 7" if I can figure out how to squeeze them under the rearend flares. Apparently to even find Fuch wheels this size is nearly impossible, let alone with custom backspace. Stock I think is way to shallow/"dished".

Thanks,

the tires I run are the DOT Hoosiers 245-50-15 on my 15x8-1/2" and the 245-50-15 and 275-50-15 would fit the 9 and 10. 11s would be pushing it, so probably just stick to 10s to make fitment easier on the car too.

if you're talking stock GT flares, 11" won't fit. even the 10" is pushing it, they won't fit with the 285/40 that the factory ran on the 9" ...

factory setup for the GTs was 245/45 x15 on 8" for the front and 285/40 x 15 on 9" for the rear.

as far as i know, *no* one makes the 285/40 street tires anymore. and trust me, i looked for them ...
there are still some 285/40 pirelli tires floating around from time to time (ebay) but be aware of the fact that pirelli hasn't made those in 15 years. even if advertised as *new*, they will be at least that old ...
