When you get ready for flares or the wide over fenders, take a look at my 'How To' in the archives on cutting out the wheel well lips.

These are 13x8, 4" backspacing, with 215/50/13s.

I know you guys are talking about larger wheels, but thought I'd throw this in the mix for those who like to ride low.

There wasn't a single person with ********* that didn't stare. One kid called it a hot wheels car.

I am running 16x8 +25 in the rear and 16x7 +25 in the front. I have a 5 lug conversion, but the rear is at GSLSE specs. For the rears I have ran 205/40(way too stretched for my taste), 225/50(FD take-offs, loved the look, but rubbed on bumps), to the current 215/40(better fitment, but I'd like something a little taller/wider).

I have pics in my profile, maybe not of the 215/40, but if desired, I can get some.
