    JDSfastGN, did you have to narrow the rear frame or trim fender lip to fit the rear tires?

    just rolled the fender lip (it fit before doing that but it did rub on hard turns or big dips) The frame is stock. I might notch it soon so that I can run a 17x11 back there though

    Agreed Todd Kay's car looks great, very interested. Why did you go with the 8" and 4" backspace?
    Thanks

    The Centerline Revs are one of the few wheels out there with a 4" backspace and a 275/60 should really be run on an 8" rim or wider. (though I never really had a problem with them on 7" wheels) You will get a better footprint with a wider wheel.

    In the past I ran a set of Weld Draglites with a 3.5" backspace and they stuck out too far for my taste. My car sits pretty low too and things get real tight when you do that.

    Here are some pics of the new wheels, plan on lowering the rear about another 1/2" or so.

    Fronts I ran 15 x 6 with 215/65's to get a faux "skinny" look without the hazards.
