Default Drag Rims offset / backspacing, which is best ?

Well am looking to get a a set of Greg Weld wheels for drag racing. Will be running a M/T 24.5x8x15.

Vehicle: 2001 Integra Type-R

For the Front:

15x8 Backspacing: 5.5" Offset: 25

or

15x8 Backspacing: 4.5" Offset: 0

For the Back(will they work??):

15x3.5 Backspacing: 1.75" Offset: -19

Thanks

I will measure the backspacing on my bogarts for you...... but I can't find my ruler lol.

I believe the front is 4.5 but I will check and tell you by tomorrow.

if you have Stock EF brakes -- get the 5" for best fitment.
