15 x 10 wheel and a 22 x 9.5 x 15 Hoosier slick PERIOD no bigger
I got my new wheels for the rear in Saturday. Diamond Racing made me a custom set in 6 days with shipping. Backspace is 5.75" and that's all that matters. 19 lbs and $295.00 for the pair shipped. Attached thumbnail(s)

Hey Joe,
I'm curious to hear how close the inner wheel well clearance is. The slick size you mention 22x9.5-15 has a listed section width of 10.7" on a 10" rim. Does that agree with what you can measure? If so, then there's hope that the new 275/35-15 radials MIGHT fit under off-the-shelf GT flares. -Josh2 |
