which size spacer? I'm going to be having my firehawk rims widened. Should i go with a 10" or 11" rim? Also what size spacer am i going to have to run to keep them from rubbing the inner fender?

Re: which size spacer? 11" for those tires is perfect but...
No spacer would be needed with the correct backspacing. I don't need one with my 11" wide Fikse wheels. I don't know what your b/s would be with widened wheels but I guess that it wouldn't be enough meaning that a spacer would be needed. Considering this, maybe 11" isn't a good idea since widening it this much would require an even thicker spacer.

Re: which size spacer? i'm guessing there would need to be a spacer... i dont think theres that much room left between the tire and the inner fender Theres possibly 1 1/2" there now with the 275's on. I will check later and measure.
