Weld Drag Lite Fitment 2nd Gen

Hello, ive been searching but i havnt found any good info on people running weld drag lites on a fc. Im looking to buy some and need to know what backspacing and stuff i need for a 89 TII. I know i want 15" and it needs to be a 5 by 4.5 lug pattern but I dont know much more than that. Any info is appreciated

you should be looking at a 15x8 wheel with about +25 offset or 5.5 inch backspace, with that you can run a 27-10-15 full slick or about 255/60/15(not sure on sidewall) et street.

it should mount pretty flush, but if you go with to wide of a tire you run the chance of hitting the rear trailing arm and probably sticking out of the wheel well at the same time... you cant run too wide of a tire on the stock fc rear end.
