I have an 86 GT that is street driven once in awhile and has a stock suspension. I want to put Draglights on the car but i am trying to figure out backspacing. I am looking for 4 lug 15 x 7 or 15 x 6 up front and 15 x 8 in back. Thanks for any help you can give me. Tire size would also be helpful since this is all new to me.

I would suggest that you go with either the 15x6 or 15x7 with a 3.5 inch back space for the front and either a 15x8 or 15x9 with a 5.5 inch back space for the rear. Both of these are available in 4 lug for this application.

which wheel (brand) did you use? A wheel that has a 3.5 inch diameter and a 3.5 inch back space is rare, unless it is designed for a front wheel drive application. Our 15x3.5 wheel has a 1.375 back space.
Thanks
