Yea on 5.5 +45 you will have no issue. The only rubbing that typically occurs is when you run wheels/tires that are too wide or poke too far out and you wind up rubbing on the inside of the upper fender. I am like 1.5-2 inches off the ground and even on stock 185/60s I dont rub sidewall or top of tire.

Holy moly rubberband tires. HAHAHA, sorry, couldn't resist. But like mentioned, you won't rub with that set up.

No rubbing with that set-up. Post some pics when you get them on the car.

Hey that looks good. Now powdercoat them white. It also looks like you forgot to put the wiper cowl back on.

TE] They'd look good white for sure... i'm gonna rock them silver for a little while.. might do some red accent work inside the holes and lip it in red. the cowl went on later that evening. Man that cowl is a lot of wasted space... the engine is revealed to be what it is when its out thoug... SMALL. |

Dont do all that red accenting that is going to look so cheesy. Keep it clean.
