My car has a solid axle from 04 GT, rolled 1/4's and is lowered. I was having a tough time on picking a width and backspace combo I knew would fit as close to the 1/4's without rubbing. a lot of people were posting pictures of their wheel combo but most didn't leave their backspacing, tires are mickey Thompson E/T streets 275/60/15. I figured I post these pictures to help other people decide on the right wheel for their car. Weld RT-S 15"x10.3" w/6.5" backspace, all the websites state these wheels are a 10" wide rime but when they came in the box said 10.3". So far this year I did the solid axle swap, magnaflow catback, and MacLeod RXT, and the rear RT-S wheels so once I have some more extra money Ill be buying the front runners in 18"x5".
Polished weld rt-s 15x10.3 6.5" backspace on 04 Mystic

Looks great!
Beautiful Vert bro! Post some pics when you get the 18x5s put on, that is the exact same set up that I want to run:beer:
Looks great. I have the same rims but run a MT 325
That looks amazing!
Thanks for the info. I'm trying to decide on this right now. Does it ever rub? Is that the low center?
I haven't driven with them on the back yet, but looking at it by eye I'm pretty confident they wont rub. looks like I've got a small amount more clearance than the 10.5 AFS wheels with 305/35/18 nitto. the shoulder of the M/T starts to roll over as it hugs into the wheel well. Will be ordering the front runners this Monday!!!!! I'll post pics when I get them in.
I didn't pay any attention to the pad size when I bought them. I bought them on jeg's website, when I found the backspace and width I wanted I just bought them. Ill try and find the receipt tonight and give you the P/N.
+1 on pad height. This info was pulled from Jegs.com...
Pad Heights:
-The low pad
wheels fit cars with drum brakes, early disc brakes and aftermarket drag racing brake systems.
- The medium pad
wheels fit the high performance factory brake systems first seen in 1965 on Corvettes and on other performance cars from the late 1980's onward, along with many aftermarket brake systems.
The 15x10 your running is only offered in "low and medium" pad designs

Just wondering if you got your front wheels yet?
Are the rt-s wheels street friendly?
I got the front wheels last week, finally came off backorder. now the tires are on backorder from M+H......
The car hasn't left the garage yet since I put the rears on, but from the research I did they seemed to be street friendly even with the 18" skinnies. Ill find out for myself very soon hopefully.
That's going to look really good. My car is DSG, I'm also still deciding on black or polished.
Do you have any pics of your setup with the 325 MT's? What all did you have to do to get them to fit?
