I'm going to be running 15x7" wheels up front with a 4" backspace, which is the only offset Summit had available. What is the largest tire size that I can put on this car with this offset? Couldn't find many people stating their backspace. Thanks! Paul Last edited by 73ChargerSE; 03/11/14 08:02 PM.
