Hi I’m looking at a set of wheels. They are 15s 7 inch wide. What is the backspacing needed for stock big bolt pattern? They are vision torque wheels. Looks like the have 4.25 backspacing. Also would 245/60r15 for back and 215/65r15 fit good on tire size. Thanks everyone

I run 3 1/2 on a 7 and 4 on a 8
15x7 with a 4.25" backspace is a factory backspace. 215/65/15 will be a little tall on a Duster, it'll be tight on the lower corners of the wheel openings up front. I ran 225/60/15's on my Duster with 15x7's and 4.25" of backspace. The width wasn't an issue, the clearance to the corners of the wheel opening were pretty tight and that's a shorter tire. I'm not saying the 26" tall 215/65/15 won't work, but it may be ride height and alignment dependent for some cars.
245/60/15 with that backspace should be fine in the back with any of the factory A-body axles.
With the proper backspace, yes. What rear axle is in your car? A-body rear axles are actually not all the same width, so it makes a difference on the backspace if you have a 7.25/8.25 or 8 3/4.
Sure looks like an 8.25.
255/60R15 with 15X8 definitely fits in the back quite nicely.
4 inch backspace works, these dusters/ demons / dart sports have alot of room in the rear well.
Here's my old pic with 255/60R15 on 15X8 Visions with 4 inch backspace. The fronts had 215/60R15 with 15X7 & 4.25 in backspace as well.
I also currently have a 8.25 rear axle.
She now has 17X8 with 4.5 inch backspace & 255/50R17 tires in the rear. The front has 17X7 4.25 inch backspace with 225/50R17 tires.
Rear overall diameter is 27 inches, front is about 25.9 inches.
I am planning on doing 17X9's rear in the future after doing a rear disk brake 8.75 swap.
This is not to everyone's tastes, but the tires are so much better especially paired with aftermarket suspension.
