Ok seen the thread with 2"s on both sides. Are there any issues with shortening 3"s on both sides and running a 4.5" bs? Also can I get some pics for them on 275/60s??

I did 3" per side, and it is about as far as you can go without modifying the factory suspension mounting locations. Here's mine, 15x10 / 4.5" bs with a 325/50 radial.

My S60 is narrowed 3" on each side but it's not installed yet. I'm taking with Fikse right now about some rims.

I've got to admit jmm98LS1, you have one mean looking ride!

you can go 5.5 on each side if you want... its all just difference in backspacing of the wheel. the problems with brackets and lca's happens when you get into 11" and 12" wide wheels. -3 per side is the most common narrowing we do with our 9 inch rerarends.
