Anyone running 15x7 3.75" backspacing with a 235/60 tire? My current wheel tire setup is the same but with 4" bs. Thinking about changing over my front steelies to old school torque thrust but they only have 3.75" bs. My front is very low, I know I should get under there and measure..

This, but it's about stock height.

No rubbing on the fender lip? Going from 4 to 3.75 will space the .25" closer to the fender lip, right?


RUNCHARGER

Correct; Mine didn't rub. No wheel opening moldings though.

I am running 15 x 7 with 3.75" BS and a 245 / 60 on the front.

I also have the wheel lip moldings and no rubbing.

I put 15x7 Torque Thrusts with 3.75" back spacing on the front of wife's Challenger.

I went with taller 235/70-15 front tires to match the height of the rear 275/60-15 tires and to get the front sitting up a little higher.

No rubbing or clearance issues.

I have 15x7 3.75 bs front with 235/60-15 on all four wheels. 15x8 4.5" bs on the rear.

Thanks guy! My car is pretty low in the front with hotchkis torsion bars but from measuring, should be fine. I don't have wheel lip molding. Keeping my rear black steelies and changing the fronts to grey centered torque thrust for that old school drag look.
