It has the Eibach pro-kit springs, and the backspacing is perfect for 245's, can't remember what it was though but there is at least 2-1/2 inches from the 245's to the inner fender. Maybe I'll be lucky

I ran 275/50-15 drag radials on 15 x 8" draglites with 4.5" backspacing and didnt rub and 5.5" backspacing and didnt rub. I didnt like when they sat even with the wheelwell so i went to 5.5" instead. Even with the 4.5" if its lowered i still would of cleared with no problems.
