You're sure the backspacing is 6.5?

So I got the draglites today, and have to polish them up before i put them on, but i wanted to see if the 265's would fit in the back so i put oneside on and the fit like a glove, got lucky there and looks great. Now as for the front they are 15x7 with 225's and its gonna be a tight fit also but hopefully they work.

Again I have no idea how wide or what the backspacing is on my wheels but they fit! No mods at all for the backs kept the quads and all. However the fronts didnt work, they scraped on the tabs for the outer pad. So with a grinder I clearenced them a bit and voila it rolls smooth. but just rolls no drives. but thats another story

I put mine on yesterday also and they fit,the backs fit perfect but the fronts are close i mean real close from rubbing maybe a hair if that away from the shock, actually on one side it was rubbing from the balance weight on the tire so i added a lil spacer and it fits now but its soo close, havent had any rubbing issues yet and makes car look 100x better.
