Yeah but if you go with a company that can get them in blanks they will drill the bolt pattern that you need...extreme customs can get blank motobwheels and drill the bolt patterns in and from what I've seen do an awesome job

im suprised you had rubbing issues that bad, I had 315s on with just 3.5 spindles and had 0 rubbing with no trimming, would that be because I was running the stock wheels at the time?

Yes because once you start adding offset and the wider the wheel, the large turn radius you will have...I went from a 7.5" factory wheel to a 9" aftermarket wheel, added a 1.25" wheel adapter and added -12 offset....with all of that my wheel radius increased tremendously

If you had wheels with more offset it would give you more clearance for turning lock to lock

not exactly. away from the frame yes but back of the wheel well and front valence arent so lucky.

That's true, the front valance can be trimmed at least but the back wheel well isn't so easy to deal with

That is totally incorrect...the wider you go out the bigger the wheel well you need especially if your trying to run bigger tired...complete opposite of what you said
