These are foose nitrous wheels, 9 inches wide. Clearance is fine all the way around, I might even put a 1 or 1.5 inch spacer on the rear. Tire is a tad tall, but looks almost like a drag truck! I have 255/55's for the front. Tell me what you think of the rear!

EDIT: These are 285/50's not 55's.....

Looks awesome. Lovin the width. but would you still be able to lower it any with those tires and wheels?

I just received 2 sets of spacers/adapters. One set is 1.5 inches and the other is 2 inches. The 1.5 spacers on the rear puts the wheel in the PERFECT position and the stance looks good, but the 2 gives it the PERFECT stance but the wheel is gonna be d@mn close to a slight rub on a hard bump. I'm LEANING towards putting the 2 on the back and the 1.5's on the front, but I might switch them around depending on the positioning of the front wheels. My taste is to NOT have them tucked up under there, though that looks good with some wheels. I really dont want the fronts having an equal or wider stance than the rears. Hopefully I'll have it all mounted, balanced, and bolted down by Tuesday.
