What's the backspacing of the rims?
Its going to be awefully tight and I think the inner fender lip needs to be addressed.

That equates to about a 265/50-15 tire size. I don't see how in the world those would ever fit without rubbing the fenders.

You don't have that much BS to put those rims and tires on there.

You would have to use an enormous spacer, and probably dangerous.

You can't go deeper than 4.75 backspacing on your car. You would need a 1.25" spacer, no good for drag racing.
