Rear needs to be closer to 50 to fit "right"or its gonna be ugly with a decent sized non stretched tire.

All a spacer is gonna do is make the situation worse..its gonna be less than 40 and stick out even more......more offset puts wheel in more..less offset makes wheel stick out more.

Chamans running 38 offset w 19s infact it looks great ! I'll be running 285s up front and 295s or 305s out back . Was going to go with 555 g2s but not so sure now .

After more research I can mill off some if it ain't right . Just so happens a very good friend of mine is a master journeyman machinist / millwright as well. With access to basically any and all related equipment.

i think you'll be more than that so hopefully your buddy can shave the mounting surface otherwise you'll be stretching tires to keep them in the wheel well. 10mm is about 4 inches, i cant imagine if my wheels stuck out another 4 inches from where they are now, I'd be chewing up my fenders like crazy
