These are the specs on the torq thrust.
Front - 15x4.5 w/ 2.125” backspace & 215/70R15
Rear - 15x8 w/ 4.5” backspace & 255/60R15
The torq thrust were used as a mock up and we’re currently running a 15x7 w/3” backspace and a 255/60. That required trimming the fender lip about an inch.
If my calculations are correct a 15x8 w/ 3.5" backspace with a 255/60 would basically fit the same with less sidewall bulge.
You can see the 15x8 w/ 4.5" backspace is sucked in too much.
Here are some photos with the 15x7 police car wheels with a 255/60. They have 4.25" backspace, but we're running a 1.25" rear spacing making them 3" backspace.
