OKay I have done many searches and still havent come up with an exact answer. I waant to get draglite 15x10s for the rear. If I plan on going with 275/60 MT ET Street Radials do you think i will have to do much work to make all of this fit. I attached pic of a car with this set up and love the way i looks....but i dont know who the owner is.

275's will fit with no problems. i have 285/40's on 9.5" rims and the only clearancing I had to do was roll the fenderlip and flip the quad shocks.. 275's would probably clear with little to no mods.

It depends on the backspace you go with. 6.5 inch backspace will look better because it will be tucked inside the wheelwell more. However you will have to ditch your quadshocks and beat the hell out of your inner fender, and it still might rub. If you go with 5.5 inch BS, you will have to roll the outer fender lip, which can be a little tricky to do without damaging paint.

Measure everthing out before you buy, then you don't waste money

measuing this stuff is easy there is no reason not to do it
