15x10 6.5 BS Street Lites? Issues?

I have an 85 IROC that I'm about to buy wheels for. I'm buying the Billet Specialties Street Lites. There isn't a 15x9 so I can either buy a 15x8 or 15x10. Could I run a 15x10 with like a 6.5 back spacing? I've seen people do it, I was just wondering if you had to do any modifications whatsoever. Post some pictures if anyone has used this setup. I'm running a 275/60 DR.

It's been covered. 15x10s with 6.5 bs take fender well clearancing and normally bumpstop removal. Quite a few good posts about it with pics. 6.5 is what people use to maintain stock wheel placement of outside rim lip.

some guys would have you think you could do all the work with just a hammer...(not true) unless you run a small tire!
this is a 10x15 w/6.5 back space.
took more then a days work..

with my set up. you can run the drag radial in the 325x50x15 or the 315x50x15.

or you can run the smaller 275 size also,if your into that class size racing.
but if you want the big sticky tire,tucked under your car. then start cutting!
