The offset is making them pertrude quite a bit. Might want to look at an alignment if you choose to go with them to make sure everything is properly accounted for. They remind me of the old deep dish rims I remember from back in the day.

I got an alignment recently with my stock wheels and tires. You think I'll be good there?

I love the look of a tire that sticks out the side of the fender. Here's another pic

They have the same backspacing as my stock wheels do so that's why they stick out so much. Can't wait to get tires for these bad boys

Old school chrome wagon wheels, looks good. Will be even better with tires on them.

Hard to say to be honest. The only real concern I have when wheels pertrude is that if they aren't wider than the stock tires to compensate for the offset, that could create an extra load on the wheel bearings and a few other components.

Not sure what you mean here. These are 15x10's and my originals are 15x7.5's. I plan on getting 295/50r15's which have a section width of 11.77" and a tread width of 10.10", with a diameter of right at 27".

Yep. I hope they don't look too short but I don't think they will. I'm getting my tires and wheels put on next Monday. I'll be sure to post some pics.

I finally did the timing bump today and I ended up at 14° btdc. Noticeable boost in power. Next step before getting the new tires is having fun with the old 235's I see a burnout video in the future LOL
