i have generic cobra r's with the 5.92 backspacing and 275, quad shock will fit
but the fender lips need to be rolled and the inner fender needs to be beat in a little with a mallet, just for me anyway

mine fit no problem. I reversed the quads. I didn't even roll my fenders. I even have lowering springs.

just to clarify, mine only rubbed under very hard conering or hitting a nasty bump while turning

when i first ran 275/40 on 17*9 it only rubbed when i hit a bump or when i was in a turn just role your fender lips you should be ok.
