Nothing that a hammer and some trimming cant take care of. What wheels and does the car have a stock rear end?

i have oe concepts 4 lug y2ks with the 24mm offset and im pretty sure 315s will fit on the back, i have the BBK springs in the rear, which only lowered it about an inch, I also removed the quad shocks.

i read somewhere (therefore im pretty sure its possible) that you can fit a 325/50/15 without a minitub. if i remember correctly he did it with a 10 inch/6.5 b/s draglite. im sure other applications would fit as well.

i have 265s on right now, but there is a good 1 inch from the tire to the inner well left, and sence the car is not that much lower in the rear, i have all the room in the world on the other side.



pic is weak im sorry

There is some major hammering to fit those....like a sledge hammer and thoughts of a wacked out ex girlfriend that wrecked your car while putting on lipstick type of aggresion. [/QB]

the kid with the green coupe (kevin) has those...im thinking. Yes the welds 15x10 with a 6.50 back setting is the set up. There is some major hammering to fit those....like a sledge hammer and thoughts of a wacked out ex girlfriend that wrecked your car while putting on lipstick type of aggresion.

sledge hammer on a car to release agression? why not just slip her some arsenic and pretend the car never existed?

Damn.. 10.5? thats a pretty wide rim bro.. you can run a 10" without mini tubeing the car.. you just gotta delet the Quad shocks and bang a lil inside the fenedr and roll your lips in.. Here is the link with picture of a coupe with 15x10 with 315/50/15

i had to edit that thread, its actually 315/60/15 in the rear...just remove your quad shocks, i would recommend some good upper n lowers if yer gonna do so, and roll your fenders, then bang bang bang on the inside.. i am going to do this setup soon. u need 6.5 backspacing. now if ya want to do it in a 17 in rim, i would ask STROKD. he has it on his car
