I'll get some more pictures after this rain/snow mix stops. The rear wheels/tires sit about flush with the rear quarter.

Thanks!

I'm thinking about getting a pair of 15x10's with some slicks or dr's for the track.

So very true, I thought about talking with the amish to fab up some wagon wheels just to test my theory

Those look great. Are they light weight?

Yes these wheels are very light compared to my old DD ZR1's.

I just took some better pictures, well they're not great but they are a lot better than those cell phone pics. I'll have them uploaded shortly.

I did the 17x11 for rears on my car with a 7.5 backspace. It does not tuck in quite as nice as yours but I was very pleased with it. You would never know .25 inch would make such a difference.









Looks great though!

That 1/4" does make a difference but it doesn't look bad at all. I would've took a better shot from the rear but i didn't feel like moving the car away from the curb.

I like them. They have great street traction. I don't drive on wet roads so not sure about rain traction. I bought these when I was planning to go to the track a lot this season but the track closed down/went out of business and I am on my way to Afghanistan anyway. If the track did not close I was going to pick up some 15x10s street lites for the track . What tires are you running?

Nice! Depending on how much weight it cuts i'd be interested in getting rid of my zr1's for these.
