50 and yes stock height.
I actually just figured out a way , i messed with the camber a couple degrees to make the tires toe in just a tiny bit, and clears perfect.

Well this is my car stock springs KYB GR2's, stock body with a 15x8 4.5 inch backspace 275-60r15 MT ET Street. Just picked them up today.
Im changing out the wheels for 5.5 inch backspace as the fender lip is almost on the flat of the tread. No amount of rolling will help the contact other then lifting the car. I will take direct comparison pictures.
This is the Whole Car.
There is about an inch of gap around the whole tire. They rub on moderate bumps, and really bad on big dips/bumps. A 5.5 Inch backspace would make them clear with rolling of the fenders.
There is A TON of room on the inside of the tire to strut and fender well.

yes 5.5 back spacing is what you need, there is still plenty of room between my tire and the strut. my issue was it was rubbing on the outside on the tire. it would rub on the quarter panel slightly and thats with a rolled panel, but you can adjust your camber just a few degrees and you should be good to go. my car squats hard as hell launching and dont have the rubbing issues anymore.
good luck and make sure you post pics!

Yea im waiting on the other wheels. When i mount them up im going to take a before and after shot of the same tire, on the same side of the car from the same angle to show the difference.
These tires and wheels look ****ing sick though. Very happy. Going to have to take a new signature pic.

I liked my 18's... but I sure love my Welds Can't go wrong with these at all, looks good bro! I would def get the bigger backspace, sticking out like that looks to much like a chico mobile lol Can't wait to see the new pics

Thanks man! I Just bought Draglites with 5.5 backspace today, hopefully UPS gets them here quick. Im going to do the fender work now so when they get here i can mount the tires and bolt them right on.
The 4.5 inch backspace with a 26 inch tall tire might work though it would stick out unless a slightly thinner tire was used. The 28" is just too tall for that backspace.
On another note anyone looking for mint 15x8 Weld Draglites with 4.5 inch back space PM me.

Heres the comparison pictures with 5.5 inch backspace. 4.5 inch backspace can be seen here in post #165.
The Fitment is MUCH better. Though i have taken it slow i dont believe they have rubbed yet with stock body.
I plan on doing to modification to the fender lip tomorrow.
The whole car with 17x9 cobra fronts 245/45/17 and 15x8 5.5 backspace 275/60/15 rears. Stock springs KYB GR2 struts and stock body/fender lips.

Thanks but Cobra wheels are here to stay. Putting Dowards Cobra brake kit on hopefully soon. My cars a driver and skinnys dont make for good fronts in an emergency maneuver or stop.
Though it would look incredibly badass. The pics dont really do it justice, the stance is sweet. Though with the 28's i really want to step up to 4.11's.
It seems my Toyota is becoming domesticated. And a new Sig pic is definitely needed.
