Default hmm

will the tires actually touch the fenders? and am planning a bb pretty soon. only thing ive actually ordered so far is the wheels. 15x10 blackrock wheels. looks just like the soft 8's but the only ones ive found that are matte black with a matching center cap.

I need to know the backspacing to be sure on rubbing or not but I think you will be okay. I ran 33's and after market wheels on stock for a couple of weeks and the only rubbing was on hard turns and that was just on the plastic from the front bumper which you won't have.
