Here's the car I'm getting. I wanna get the widest wheel possible for the rear of the car I'm about to buy. Rear will be lowered like the front's.



Wanting to get some American Racing TrakStar's. I'd LIKE to fit a 15x10 or 15x 12 but dunno what all I'd have to do to get em to fit. Is a 15x12 even possible without having to tub it? If there's parts I need to buy, could someone please direct me to a good website and parts needed to do this? And have no idea to check how to figure out the best backspacing needed. Thanks!

For the front

For the rear

Have a side shot by chance? Mind if I ask whatcha had to do to get it to fit on there? Roll the fenders and upper/lower control arms? Anything else?

Thinkin of getting these for the street wheels. They're 10.5's in the rear, 9's in the front though. Wondering what a hassle it'd be to at least get these to fit.
