The photos I posted in the other thread are showing the tires sticking out of the wheel well over an inch past the flair and will dig into the flair without some sort of Air Shock holding it up. I know and is just another reason I got rid of them as soon as I could.

Maybe the tire sticking out of the well does not bother you.
It sure did me.
I was not a member here yet and I made a mistake.

Sorry if this sounds discouraging but it is just some info. to consider.

They will sit over 2" outside the wheels well, bad idea.

Thats what I was thinking. If only the wheels I want came in a larger backspacing.

Is the bolt patter of the wheels u are looking at 5x4.75? Looks like a truck wheel offset.

Yes, they are 5x4.75, and they are a truck wheel. I kind of have an affinity for bling and a love for the post apocalyptic look. These are perfect for my taste. I ended up ordering them in 15x8 with -19 offset for the rear and 15x7 with -6 offset for the front. I'll probably go with Cooper Cobra's in 255/60 and 235/60. Thanks, Ron USMC. I read your advice on numerous threads and finally I was sold when I saw the shot you took from the back.
