I was wondering if it has been nice enough there to take your car out with the new rims? I am wondering how they are with a little "spirited" driving? Any rubs on hard corners, with passengers ect? Do you have anymore pictures of the car, I saw the ones you posted when you put them on.
I am looking at some rims that are 15 x 8, 3.25" backspacing. I see yours are 15 x 8.5, 3.5" backspacing. If your rims are .5" wider, that's .25" more sitcking out the side, but my off set is .25" less, so it will pull the rim back in the .25" and should place the outside edge of my rim in the same spot as yours.
Any pictures you can post, or input on how it drives would be great..
I might end up buying one rim now, just to see if it will clear everything.
By the way, Nice car :thumbs:

I haven't had it out for any real hard driving yet but I doubt I will run into any problems. It's the tires you have to worry about more than the rims. 295 50 15's would clear the trailing arm if you moved the e brake braket with stock rims, I think the backspacing is 4" on stock rims so with 3.25 or 3.5" you have more room there, the only difference is how far they stick out of the wheel well, I would not like them to stick out any further than they do now.

Depending on the style of the rim you have to watch that it clears the brake calipers, I have about 1/16 of an inch there. :D
