These are actually for my 12', but since I didn't have them on the car yet I wanted to see how they fit/looked on my 91. The tires are really too tall, but they fit. They are 18X9's (6.3 backspacing, +30mm offset) with 255/45's on them. They actually fit better then I thought they would. I had to unbolt my quad shock, and it rubs the tail pipe (no surprise there). Whenever I get around to getting a set for it I'll likely go with 99-04 height tires instead of 05+ sized tires. Please excuse the car's absolute nastiness, it's been parked since late December and I haven't been able to wash it.

It actually looks better then I thought it would. I don't think I could safely run the 255/45's up front as there isn't a whole lot of breathing room up there, plus I'm not sure what I would do about the tail pipes as I don't like dumps and I feel they are an essential part to the look of an LX.
 
Those look awesome. Those are really deep dish too. I really like them on your hatch!

Yeah those two are the fronts that are going onto the Red car. I wanted to see how much stuff was going to hit. So far the only obvious thing was the tail pipes and quad shocks. I have a new set of MM XHD LCA's waiting to go onto the car, so I'll likely toss the quads once I install them. I'm willing to bet I'll see significant rubbing on the front fenders though.
