What backspacing on rear draglites?

[Bigstang1]

I know that there is 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5 available. What hits and fits for these different sizes. advantages and disadvantages of each?

I believe 5.5" is what you need for an 8" wheel.

5.5 Keeps the nice and tucked inside, thats what i had when i had the draglites on my LX

yes you need 5.5. i have 5.5 inch backspacing on my 15x8's then i installed a 1/4 inch spacer. allows me to run my quad shocks with 275's for tread.

Wheels that stick out past the fender lips look *****ing ugly!!!!

I have the fake welds with 4.5" backspacing... I wanted room for my KYB tubular gas-pressurized quads (they provide a bit of torsion effect, unlike the stock quads, which are basically just dampers), and it's barely enough room... They're 275/50R15 DRs... They're flush with the fender lip...

I think 5.5" BS would rub bad... On my setup anyway...
