You sure those are 3.75" bs? Mine certainly didn't stick out that far.

Yeah I got to lookin' at my pics again. If you look at where my RIM is in the pic compared to where the crown of the TIRE ends up at in relation to the fender, it's a different story.

Some don't like the looks at all or when running smallish tires. He'll be running 235/75-15's. Also as in my state of WV too extreme and it'll never pass inspection. I got by with 235's on 15x7's with 4.25" backspace.

I wasnt really going for the wide look so, i'm returning those wheels and found some pro- comps that are 15x7 and 4.5 inch backspace, should fit fine.

Good hear your getting things straight. Seems you and me are trying for the same look. To which I say 15x7 w/4" bs for myself after seeing what ended up with 4.25" would be max. You'll notice 4.5" over 5.25".

Hard to tell but it looks like the stock rim is even with the front flare. Add 2.5" to the rim and it puts it out a good ways. Maybe he'll verify it width for us.
