What size and backspace are your rear wheels? I'm looking at getting that size tires for my Duster, but need to know the wheel specs. Oh, and it has an 8 1/4 in it. Also, what kind of tires, since they do vary in actual size by brand.

they are 15 inch wheels, to be honest i cant remeber the backspacing and im going to school in wyoming and my car is back home in south dakota so id have to measure when i go home for spring break. I shouldnt matter what size rear end it has as long as its for an abody. Im running BF goodrich radial TA's, really nice looking white letter tires that have a nice tread
