    I'm runnin 16x8 rears with (11.5x28") 295/50's. I'm gonna change to a 16x10 to get more tread contact. They're cheap steelies from summit. A little heavy but only cost $60.

    They do stick out about an inch and a half. That's my only dislike. The ones with the proper backspacing were more $.
