Default Need help with finding the right 15x10 rim

I have an 08 silverado ecsb with a 4/6 drop, and i just bought a set of 325/50r15 drag radials for it, so i need a 10" rim to run them, and idk what kinda backspacing i need, i was lookin at cragar soft 8's or jegs baja wheel, i dont wanna have to buy bogarts, i mostly just use them for special weekends

A pount in the right direction would be great, expecially if anybody could paste a link

Those tires stick out even with the correct backspace wheel. They're super wide. You need a 6.5-7 b.s. wheel

I just got my cragars in last week. They are 6.5" backspace but I wish I would have gone with 7". They stick out a bit but not too bad.

There are some pics in my build thread. The link is in my sig. The wheels have to be special ordered since they don't produce that backspace. They were special ordered for $159 a wheel.

I did the same thing but had mine done local. If I could do it over I'd do 7"

I would also do 7" I have plenty of clearance between my tire and leaf springs and it sticks out of the fender wells too much for my taste.
