buying new wheels

[tmaxxman21]

i currently have crap tires and wheels and im going to put on a nice set.

i have 15x6 front centerlines
and 15x8 rear centerlines.. with 235/60r16 i think tires... looks like junk


so im throwing on a set of billet specialties street lites 15x4 fronts and 17x9.5 rears (different look with the 17's rear) rear tires would probably be a 285/60x17. i was thinking of doing a 5" backspacing. i have a total performance body. with the 8" rear end

what do you guys think

Do you have a pic of your T from the rear? Hard to tell from the above angle, but it looks like you already have about as much backset on your current wheels as you can. You might measure those to see what you have.

I wouldn't go with much more backset than you have on those wheels... maybe 1/2" or so more. Let's see what others have to say.
