Default Backspacing for Drag Wheels, 1999 Silverado 1500

I'm looking at having some custom drag wheels made for my newly acquired 1999 Silverado….I want to do 15x4 up front and 15x10 in the rear, but I have no idea what guys are running on backspacing. Please advise and if possible post a pic of your truck with the specific sizing/specs. Thanks!



(Sorry if this is the wrong section….I didn't see a wheel specific section)

Most run a 6.5-7" backspacing. So the smaller the number the more it is pushed out from under the truck.

Mine is a narrowed rear end 3" each side. 15x10" 4" backspacing. Pretty big and wide rear tire.
