I have 15x8 welds with 4.5 b/s. With 275/60/15 and 275/50/15 there is a little bit of rubbing on the outer fender. If I rolled the fender that rubbing would be gone completely. The tires stay under just enough that they don't stick out. If you want the tucked under look get a 15x8 with 5.5 b/s or a 15x10 with 6.5/bs.

the 275's have a 11.5" section width right? and they just fit under the fender? your sure you have 4.5" bs. and i already ordered my centerline 4.5" bs.

do you have any rubbing on the fender with the 26" 's are just with the 28's


and do you happen to have any pics from the back of the car with those tires on?
