I'm thinking about buying new rims for the rear. Hoping I might find wheels that look stock so I keep the stock front wheels and replace rear. It appears 15x10 is fairly popular with 275/50/15's. Just not familair with rolling fenders, spacers and whatnot. Basically looking for a recommend wheel/tire to replace rear for hook hoping to avoid modifications to make fit.

If you want the Welds, be prepared to grind your calipers alot to get them to fit. You'll want the 7.5" backspacing on 15x10s, 5.5" on 15x8s if you go that route. You will see the most gain if you also run the skinny 15x3.5s on the front b/c you'll get rid of alot of rotational weight.
