Default 15 x 10s fit on back?

Will they fit without modification?? (i.e. trailing arms, emergency brake etc)

15x10 Ansen Sprints with 3 1/8" Offset

Tires will be 275 60 15

That's what I have on my car. I have to run air shocks to lift the back end. I like the "jacked" look, but do not like the feel of the air shocks. I think you can adjust ride height by using different spring bolts.

Thanks Rick - I think you showed me that before..

Looks awesome but I definitely dont want to run air shocks - been there done that

I have the 275/60/15s on there now with the 15x8 rallys - no issues at all - they fit fine

So I will go 15X8.5 if the 15x10s wont fit without modding my susp...

Anyone else know for sure?
Thanks!

I would do a search, there is a ton if info. out there. I was trying to find an article for you that showed what sizes you could run but I could not find it. With out any mods. a 255/60R15 was about as big as you could go. If you started going bigger, there were some parking brake brackets that had to be moved as to not rub. Use the search function, you will be overwhelmed with info.

i have the 15x10s on the rear. They are steel rallys. They have 5" backset or 0 offset. You need to have 5" backspace or they will stick out way too far.

check out the picts of mine.
