Default Anyone running 10 inch Cragar SS on the rear?

I want to run with a 15x10 Cragar SS for the vintage look but I'm having a little trouble with back spacing and/or caliper interference. If you're running this wheel can you tell me what offset you're using and if you use a spacer?
Thanks, Greg

I had 15 x 8's all the way around my vette. I had a 3/8" thick spacer at all wheels, and still had to grind a little off the side of my calipers to make them fit.

Hey Todd,
I'm running 295/50/15 BFG's. On 8's the E brake cable bracket was an issue without a spacer. I just put 15x10's on today with a 3 3/4 back space. E brake is good now but caliper rubs even with a 5/16 spacer. So I'm looking for a diiferent back space so I can lose the spacer. I'm hoping someone has already done my home work for me. :lol:

With a 15x10 and a spacer with that type of offset, they have to stick out beyond the lip.
