Wheel offset

Im just curious if i get 15x8 wheels for the front and 15x8 or 15x10 for the back, what backspace and offset should i have for the wheels to tuck, i have a pretty low static drop and when i turn my wheel all the way my tires rub so im trying to get less wide tires and or wheels that will tuck more.

Re: Wheel offset

For the front 15x8 you need 4in backspace and for the rear 15x10 you need 5in backspace.
