i use those wheels on our car with closed lug nuts and everytime i go to tech i need to mention i have the extended lugs, the better solution would be to have open lug nuts so they can see how long they are.

those are the right size rims for slicks and skinnies...no spacer required...get 165r15 tires from tire rack.com for the front runners..they only cost 30 a peice...

i use 27x10.5 hoosier qtps in the back and they do not rub..i wouldnt go much larger.
What's the back spacing in the rears with the 10.5s?
