The one pic. of the rear tire is so close you could almost smell the rubber. Would like nice with flares.

They are only 12.5" wide. They are 33" tall. And the "15" stands for how big the wheel is.

ok so it is the rims? What is standard widths on our stock rims?

285mm = 11.22 inches...1.78 inch diff...explains a little on the stick out.

They are 15x10's, and I think he said they had 3 5/8 backspacing.



MAJohns, the tires and wheels look great. Too bad you had to grind the calipers (I remember when I did mine... it sucked). Did you have to grind much? Anyway, looks great!

Do you have any lift? It probably rubs a smidgen when turning eh?

They stick out because of the rims, not the actual tires necessarily. A 12.5" wide tire on your stock rim wouldn't stick out much more than your tires now.
