yea to me they look that way too, idk why. but i need a 5mm spacer with studs in the rear to go with any bigger of a tire. there is maybe 1mm of space between the coilover and tire

imo, if clearance was an issue, you should have just went .5" smaller on width. It’s not like you are limiting your tire size. The proportions look off to me too and the whole “flush look” is stupid. Function over from.

I do not hate the stretch and am a big fan of the wheels. I have 275’s on 19x10’s that look about the same. I was kinda bummed at first but oh well. I will deff try to stuff a 305 or similar in there next time.

exactly i have no room to spare in the rears. once i get a spacer and studs then i can upgrade to a 265 but thats about it
