47-54 backspacing

Hey guys, I'm thinking about my wheel selection and would like some input on backspacing. I know some folks get goofy about this but I'm just checking to see what's available in wheel sizing. I will mock-up them up myself before ordering (15" steel wheels).

So, in the front I'm running a TCI Mustang II with air bags and 2" dropped spindles. 15x7 with ___ backspacing???

In the rear I have a camaro 10 bolt at 61" wide. 15x7 or 15x8 with ___ backspacing?

What are you guys running?

Thanks

Re: 47-54 backspacing

15 x7 in the front with the center back spacing will work
15 x 8 center back spacing for the rear should clear with a 255 x70 15 that is what is on mine.
I don't know about the 2" drop spindles in the front as mine is stock Mll. Where does the tie rod end up with 15" wheels?
