They will stick out 2 inches and look horrible. I did it. Looks like Joe Dirt.

I wouldn't do it, especially being lowered. They will most definitely stick out quite a bit. Since you're lowered, when you take off, it'll most likely rub the fender. They would also not be kind to your paint. And that's a very heavy wheel if you're wanting it for drag racing. I went with 17x9's from American Muscle. Still not the lightest thing in the world, but they'll do the trick. If you're lowered at all, you really don't want to the wheels/tires sticking out.
