Anybody out there running a set of 15X8 wheels on the rear of their GN? If so, what backspace are they? Also, what tires do you have mounted to them? Any rubbing issues?
Questions, questions...

3.5 backspace
I had 275/60/15 BFG DR's no rubbing but close on the inside frame rails and close to the ATR tailpipe on the left side.
Have since changed to 275/50/15 BFG DR's and fit and look is much better.
haven't updated pics yet but the 275/60's are on my webpage and I can send you pics of the 50's if you email me

I'm running a set of Enkei Type 92 15x8 s.
Backspace is 3 7/8" (measured... might have been advertised as 4"?)
I run 26x10" M/T slicks and 28x9" M/T slicks without any problems. Also, P275/50-15 BFG Radial T/As for the street.
Has anybody had problems with their rear tires rubbing the inside of the quarter panel at the wheel opening? If so, I would be interested in hearing what tire/wheel/backspace combination you were running.
TIA,
Mike
Chris, i am currently looking at those same tires on the same rims. My friends were worried about rubbing, but i wasn't too sure. Do you have any problems with it?
I have Weld Draglites, 15x8 w/ 3.5" BS and 275/60 BFG DRs (15x7s in the front, if anyone cares) (pics here: http://www.turbojimmy.com/gnpage.html)
The right rear tire rubs the outer fender lip once in a while (only when I have passengers), even with the air bag pumped up pretty good.
