*Another* backspace/offset question

15x10 with -44mm of offset and 3.75” backspacing

Will that fit okay on the back of a square? I heard with a 10” wheel 5” of BS is optimal. This combo looks like it will work out to about 5.5” of overall BS.

Re: *Another* backspace/offset question

I have 15x10 with 5" backspacing on the rear . The tires i have are pretty big , they are 345/55/15 . I actually had to move the rear tubs in about 1 inch . With a smaller you would not have that problem .

Re: *Another* backspace/offset question

My Eagle 589s have exactly that offset (-44 mm) and are 15x10 but i´m not sure about the backspacing! I thought the offset defines the BS automatically?!
