say I had a 15x8 wheel with 4.75 backspacing and +6.00mm offset.

Would this fit? and if so would it stick out and if so how much?

Thanks,
Matt

stock is 45mm offset & about a 6.5 backspace. what you are looking at would not be good.

I am not positive but I think a 15x8 with a +6mm offset will give you a 4.25 backspacing. My calcs say you can calculate backspacing or offset but they go hand in hand. More positive offset will increase the backspacing????

4.75 backspacing would not stick out but a +6.00mm offset will be 1/2 inch further out than the 4.75 backspacing. Not sure if that will be past the fender but I think it will.

Well, I sold those Weld's to a buddy of mine, and he just bought the front runners for his 04 GT. He decided that he hates the Draglites and wants some Prostars. If your interested let me know.
