I searched the forum and got a headache from reading. I didnt really get the answer I was looking for because it seemed like a lot of the threads were giving different answers. I would like to get 17x8 cobra rims with 235 or 245 tires in the front and 17x9 cobra rims with 275 tires in the back. I also plan on getting wheel spacer adapters, either 1/2" or 1", in the rear. I really do not want to do any modifications to the fender or the quads. And I almost forgot, I want to get Fords B or C springs. Will the setup work with the rim/tire/adapter/springs without any modifications? Thanks

I'm pretty sure the rear wheels will stick out of the fender well with a 1" spacer.

lol yeah... It'd look like CRAP with those huge wheel spacers. Don't ever use wheel spacers unless you HAVE TO to clear quad shocks, or what not.

im afraid that if i dont get the adapters then the tires will rub against the exhaust pipes. they sometimes rub with my stock 225 on them. what about a 1/8 adapter
