I have a 90 240sx and im setting it up for drag racing. Im goin to buy draglite wheels 15x9 to fit 26x10.5x15 slicks on it. I need to know the backspace or offset i guess for them to fit? can anyone help?

I'm no drag racing expert, but I'm assuming with drag wheels, you're not gonna want anything closer to the fenders (just cuz drag car pics are all I know, lol). Get something like a +30 or +40 offset or something. Hopefully you've already tubbed your fenders.
