Actually bought them off of a memeber on here. He had them professionally widened. They started out as a 5x8 with 5" backspace. Then widened 2"

I dont know details on exactly how he achieved the right backspacing to keep them under the bed. May have something to do with going 15x8, then adding 2" to to back side of the wheel. Instead of going straight to a 15x10? Anyone know him? He's on here a lot. Maybe he can chime in with some detailed info.

I contacted Tim at Cragar last week about building me some custom wheels and he said he could build any configuration I wanted but I had to order them through a vendor. Couldn't do it direct from him. I'm having a hard time getting any of their vendors to order custom wheels though.

I just want some 15x10 with 6.5" backspacing. I don't really care what series the wheel is
