If you are looking for a wheel wider than a 15 X 8 but can't fit a 15 X 10, why not try a 15 X 9?

 

cuz it would need a 7 inch backspacing, and i've only seen themwith a 6.50 backspacing

 

A 15 X 9 with a 6.5 B/S should fit. I am running a 15 X 10 with a 6.5 B/S on my car right now. Granted, I don't have tailpipes, but I don't have any problems with my 28 x 10.5 M/T's rubbing.

 

but i also have lincoln axles and rear brakes

 

I guess I'm out of ideas then. You said in your first post that you tried a 15 x 8 with a 6.5 B/S and the tire was "too close for comfort near the pipes". Then you said that a 15 X 8 with a 5.5 B/S was "to close to the fender lip". I guess the only thing left is either deal with the tire rubbing somewhere, or going with a 15 X 7 with either a 6.5 B/S or a 5.5 B/S.

The only other thing I could think of is order a set of wheels from someone like Bogart that can make you any size rim you want with any size B/S. Only problem with that is their rims aren't made to be driven on the street and I am assuming that this is for a street car.

 

how long would the last on the street

 

Check with American Racing..I think they can build custom wheels too.

 

i'm gonna try a 15 x 9 with a 6.50 back spacing the guy at the wheel shop has the same setu; on his coupe and it only rubs when you hit a speed bump to fast, but he also has eibach drag launch springs,

 

^^ so think about that. go with a 6.5 back space that takes care of the inside and go with a 8" wide wheel, that takes care of the outside rub.

 

well bolted up a set of 15 x 8 with a 6.50 back spacing, and had 265 50 15 tires and no rub, but i'm goin a different direction, but thanks for all the info, i let my buddy know cuz he just did the lincoln swap, i'm doing 17 chrome ponys with eiback sportlines
