2002 zo6 15x 11 inch wheel question
I have the LG 15 inch spindles and I want to run a 11 inch wide rim with a beadlock on the outside and screws on the inside. I am mini tubing the car now. They will be welds does anyone know what the backspacing needs to be?? i want to run a x275 tire on my car..

Someone else may have to chime in to confirm. But I "think" you will have issues with an 11" wheel if using factory lower control arms. You have to grind the hell out of the arms even with a 10" wheel so 11" will be worse. 7.5" or more backspacing is what you want in order to keep it under the fender as much as possible, however the more backspacing you run the worse the interference will be with the control arm.

Shoaf is correct. While you can do an 11" wheel, it'll take more grinding than the 10" wheel.
I have 15x10 w/ 7.5" bs. Same 275 tire you're talking about
