15x8 drag wheel back spacing

[mineralgraygt]

ok guys had a question. i was on summit and saw they have summit wheels that look just like pro stars and draglites. well the back spacing they have for them is 4.5 i wondering if you could still run them on our cars? i cant remeber what the properly backspacing was for 15/8 wheels i think its 5 or 5.5 but i was just wanted to know if anyone has got away with running a 4.5 backspacing on our cars

01GT4.6 over at mod depot has. Here is a pick of his car with a 15x8 with a 4.5" backspacing!

I just bought some cheap steel rims for slicks new from summit 2 for 84 after shipping they are 15x8 with a 4.75" backspacing. They are a little on the heavy side though.

What about wheel size and backspacing for cobra 11.65" brakes in the rear?? And what about for skinny fronts with 13" cobra brakes?
