    Default Wheels not fitting right

    i have a 89 notch went from a 15x8 with 4.5 back spacing to a 15x8 5.5 back spacing and the tire is rubbing on the inside i had to put spacers just so the wheels would fit after beating in the inner wheel well

    That Is a hell of alot of tire for a 8 Inch rim. Probably should have gone with a 10 Inch wide rim. Thats me $.02 worth.

    used to be very common for 28x10's on a 8in wheel.

    AA 15 x 8 w/ a 5.5 b.s. should fit. Is the rearend a stock width or is it narrowed? Like Anthony said what's it hitting on?
