Default heres the rear set up on my g/n

these are centerline tellstars with bfg drag radials..
wheels 15x8.5 5" backspace, had to use 1" spacer for proper fit..
tires are 275/60-15.
already had wheels this is why i used a spacer for fittment. had to trim 3/8" off of inner wheel housing.
i like the look of the tire filling the wheel housing, but it sure changed the gear ratio a bit..

They look pretty good!

Stick out a bit more than I like to see and I notice the fender lip moldings are missing (for clearance?)

the fender mouldings are in the garage, they weren't on the car when i got it and just havent put them on.. kinda waiting till i get it painted before i install all the new emblems and trim pieces.. tires are a bit big on the car.. think im gonna drop down to a 255/60 on the next time around.. but i already had this stuff so i used it..
thanks
