Hi can any one help me out.
I'm trying to buy some bassett racing wheels for a tiger. I need to know what backspacing I would need.
I would like 15 x 7 on the front and 15 x 8 on the rear
Any one running those sizes ??

what size tyre are you thinking of using on the front.. with a 15x7 wheel you are likely to have issues with front valence.. and perhaps even steering arms depending on the offset.. and the guards flared or rolled? trimmed valence? I htink 15x6 on the front might be easier..

will see if i can dig up the offsets the guys i know use on 15's.. but am sure they are 15x6 front and 15x7 rear.
