Well, I picked up the wheels and tire......unfortunately they are 15x7 with 4.5” backspace not 15x8. They still work but sit IN a little too far. They actually hit my exhaust on the passenger side which isn’t a big deal as I’ll have my exhaust guy adjust it this spring.

But now I’m having a dilemma as I picked up a really nice set I’d 15x8 unilug wheels with 4.25 backspace......exactly the same as my daily driven wheels. I really like the straight lug wheels but the unilug fit better.

The picture above is with my 15x8 wheels with the vintage M&H Racemaster slicks.

These pictures are of the 15x7 wheels with the M&H Racemasters....the last picture is of the passenger side and how it hits the tailpipe....not a big deal ones I have it adjusted.
