I haven't taken them off (yet) so I'm not 100% sure of the backspace. The tires are BF Goodrich TA's, and are P255/60R15's.

I may look into air shocks as a crummy fix, or spend the money and get a Eaton 3-spring pack to replace the monoleafs. You can actually order a 1"-3" lift when you get new springs. Of course, I could go to 17" wheels and probably not have the problem, but usually 17" wheels means rubber band side profiles and I don't want my car level... I want a distinct rake as long as the top pf the tire is not below the SS trim on the wheel opening.
