Default weld rts installed

Front 15x4 low pad 2.5" back spacing with 1/4 spacer some caliper grinding
Rear 15x10 med pad 4.5" backspacing narrowed rear 3" on each side no grinding

Front tires are 165/80/15
Rear tires 28/11.50/15 Hoosier qtp. Bump stops removed and alil bfh mod. Running 1/4" spacers so no chance of rubbing til I switch to a radial tire.

Only pic so far. Will have more later. Enjoy. This is still stock springs with heater hose mod in the rear. No changes in the front til I get coilovers all the way around.

I figured I would share my setup since these are becoming a popular wheel and hope this answers some questions. Very happy with the looks. Can't wait to lower it some but the wheels broke the bank for coilovers for a bit lol.

Looks great. Narrowed rears look so damn nice with a nice set of wheels on them.

You should be able to. Might have to take some more grinding because of switching to the low pad.
