So i messed up and bought 13in brakes and wanted to run a 15 drag radial. lol is there a way to run a really small backspacing so i can run the 15in wheel with the 13in brakes? has anyone done this?
 


It's not possible. Your best bet would be to change back to stock brakes if you want to run the wheels. Otherwise..you are on at least 16" rims and that usually means drag radials instead of full on slicks.
 
so i guess my next question is whats a good offset or back spacing for a 275/50/r17, if i can even get that to fit lol, remember its track only sticking out wont be a big deal
 
i found a better set up 245/45/17, but i can not find a cheapo rim like the 15 in aero i was looking at, best i can fin is a 17x8 with a 0mm offset and 4in back spaceing.

will this set up rub like no other? rub when i turn to come back to the lanes? this car is not lowered at all
 


Can you fit stock wheels over it? You can get slicks for 16s if you want to "ride dirty" with a slick that is a bit too wide for the wheel. Sometimes you can find hooisers and some uncommon MTs in 16s fairly easily.
 
i was going to run 15s, but hten i bought 13in brakes over black friday, then i faced palmed, and started searching, I can find wheel that will fit, but i was trying to go cheap and light, almost a 17X8 steelie lol
 
0mm offset is going to not fit AT ALL. it will go on the car but your tires are going to eat your fenders.

yeah i figured as much, i just cant seem to find a 17X8 with a descent offset for cheap (less than 100 bucks), and coming in at a light weight
