What size wheel/tire combo do you have on the rear? Looks like an 11" wheel with a 285 tire?

Love the way it fills up the wheel well! How much is your car lowered?

Not a big fan of tire stretching. I prefer mods that increase the performance of the car, not diminish it. Its your ride though, so enjoy it as you like

Love the wheels, my favorite style out there. I do think the tire's too narrow for the rim as well.

in order to make these wheels fit WITHOUT any modification, is to run this narrow tire 295 on a 12'' wheel...

No, you're the idiot. But I didn't think I had to spell it out for you.

My point was, your rear tires are too narrow for that size rim, just in case you hadn't already heard that. Oh, but wait, you have.
