I do not know the back spacing I will pull the wheels off today and check. They did rub the front of the fender and had to trim a bit. After I changed to the Alterkation. I had to add a 5/16 spacer to the rear wheels to move them out. They sat too deep and looked funny after ha being 255/50/17 on before but I could not find a tire 275/50/17 that I liked will never buy the Riken Raptors again. They have no traction on wet roads.

How are the Raptors otherwise? I bought a set of 4 a couple months ago but the car is not together yet.
Not going to be driven in the rain... at least not on purpose.
 
I got mine 5 years ago ran them at the track 2 passes after that it seemed they had no more traction. But they do not make that model anymore so they may have changed them. I looked up the specs on them and they are summer tires only and not to be serviced (air put in them) 50degrees and below. So maybe not good to do burnouts on may have been self inflicted I still have rubber on the quarters I still can't scrub off

Below is my finished combo. Stock suspension all around, 15" X 6" in front with 235-60-15, custom made backspace 15 X 8 in back with 275-60-15 in rear. Both are tight but both work well. The 275's will be a gift with my 3:73 ratio rear axle. Got my front end alignment today as well.

Did you have any tire rubbing issues on the front when turning? I have 215/60/15's and they rub sometimes at the very front bottom of the lip.
 
Here is my finished combo - bridgestone potenza re-71rs 215/45r17 in front and 235/45r17 in back

A few people have pointed out to me that the front and should be lowered a little bit. After looking at it for a couple of days I agree going to drop it 1 inch and see what it looks like
 
Just might need to be driven like 10 miles or so then see what it looks like...Still looks great to me!!!
 
Didn't touch the torsion bars. Just drove it around the neighborhood and she settled in quite a bit up front.
