Need back spacing help with weld draglites.
I've had welds in the back and stocker rims up front for about 6 years now and I figure it's time to get matching wheels if possible.
So I know what the correct size backspacing needed for an rx is. Problem is the weld draglites don't come in that back spacing. I've seen quite a few rx-7's with draglites on the front and I'm just wondering which rim width and backspacing works best. I tried ordering summit racings version of the weld in a 15x7 rim and the lip of the rim stuck out about 3" past the front fender. The car would look like a roller skate with these installed. I don't mind going to a skinny in the front. If they will look normal. What are you other draglite guys running as far as wheel width and backspacing?
thanks
