I like these Sprint Stars but I'm not too sure about the fit with the advertised backspacing?

These are going on my stock height bug, stock brakes on the back and CBP disc brake setup on the front. No tires selected yet. I'm not sure if they will clear the brake calipers?

Advice is appreciated - thank you!

They will fit at stock height. If the calipers were to rub you can grind on the caliper a little or run a spacer. I wouldn't put bigger than 185 tires on them?

Thanks Mike. I think I'll go ahead with buying them.

These are the wheels (15") that are currently on the car as "roll-arounds". They were fine with drums all the way around, currently they do rub against the calipers, but just barely. Tire size is 205/75/15 without any issues rubbing, I had also liked how they helped fill the fenderwells. But I can look at sizing from 185 to 205 I think after I get the rims.
