Hard to tell by the pics...some they look like the rear stick out, some they don't look like they do...

Do the rear tires stick out past the fenders?

5" backspace I guess?

I don't know, everyone in that town acts like I am a disease. Not too many friendly people, but it's cool if they liked my car!

Probably great for racing but ugly as hell in my opinion. Back of the car jacked up and sticking out. Just my 2 cents.

i dont know about it being jacked up. it looks that way because its got the skinnies up front. i personally love the look of the skinnies up front.
