    i could have sworn there used to be a sticky that had "everything you ever wanted to know about buick wheels", but maybe i hallucinated it? i just scored 2 pairs of slightly worn 275/60/15 M/T drag radials from a buddy who works at a tire shop for zip. i have gta wheels on my car now, and was looking to buy a cheapo set of steel wheels to mount these freebies on to have a little fun. my car is stock height, anyone know what size/backspace wheels i should get? i'm assuming 15x8's but wanted to see if anyone has a proven setup. i was looking on summit and the choices are pretty endless!

    someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe for 15x8 you want 3.5BS, and for 15x10 you want 4.5BS.
