Default SSR Spikes with 4.5 backspacing

Pretty happy with these. I had some weld rts on but i gotta tired of fighting rubbing issues with 5.5 backspacing. I think these look better as well lol. Pretty sick looking for Chinese wheels.

Those do look good, but Im confused. The 4.5 backspacing would push the tire further out than your old 5.5 & cut into the tire more. Going by the pics, it looks like it sticks out pretty good.

My rear end is narrowed 3 inches. I got 5.5 to tuck a 295 radial in a little more but it's a lot of work to clear it with bfh and cutting and it still rubbed after that even with a small spacer. 4.5 would put the tire in the stock location and this a 275 pro as well now. I'll post more pics tomorrow.

Those look fantastic. Are you still using an acorn style lug nut or shanks?

Had to use the crappy accorns for now. I'm not worried that much about them for nowy car isn't pushing huge power or anything.
