okay the car i have is a stock 2001 gt wanted to spray it in time but i was wondering about putting draglites on it, wanted to go a 10 inch rim for the rear what is the backspace that works best? ive heard 6.5 but then some say that sticks out to much and to go with a 7.5, so which backspace is it really? any pics would help. also for the front skinnies how much of a spacer will i need? i dont really wanna have to cut the bar off and do any kinda grinding. ive heard 1/2 inch will work. also whats the knurl sizes i will need for extended lug nuts? thank you:beer:

i'm not so sure on the backspacing, but for the skinnies to work on my car, i had to grind down the caliper bracket a tad. its not bad really. just grind down a little at a time, then mount the rim and spin it. if it rubs, remove wheel and grind a little more. worked for me.i also used the weld extended lug nuts.
