new member but loooong time lurker,I have been able to get alot of stuff figured out without having to ask a question,so it is my time.I have a 92 6spd,that I will be running at the dragstrip(about one weekend a month),I can use my fathers skinnies up front,I think they will work with longer wheel studs,then I figured I may as well get matching rears,I'm thinking 15x10 do they have the correct backspace or will I need spacers?.I assume they will clear the calipers since I have seen pics of them on later c4's.I will be running m/t et street,not sure exact size yet.Thanks,

I've got 15x10s on mine (which has a complete 95 rear in it)with a 7 1/2 backspace. I need a 5/16 spacer to keep the 325x50s off the trailing arm bolts. and to help brake caliper clearence. You might be able to get away without the spacer with less tire and a lot of caliper grinding.
