The wheels look great.
I like the way the sidewalls get close to the fender lip, without going past.
You must have worked at that.
I can't stand the look of some of the wheels that look like they are tucked in an inch or more.

Thanks buddy. It was some trial and error along with info from this forum. I had 9” wide rear wheels with 275 wide tires for a bit but wasn’t comfortable with the clearance and I couldn’t find a 265 in the brand/model of tire that I was locked into with the fronts already bought and paid for. Plus I just cruise it and drive to local shows so getting the look right was more important to me than the extra width.
