    Yeah you could also do that but I'm not a big fan of air shocks myself so I just left that one out. Air shocks just transfer the weight to an unwanted part of the car IMO. Shock mounts just arent made to handle all the weight of the car like that. :yup: But that is another option.

    I was jokingly referring to the other thread that was getting all :mad: about air shocks. :D

    Wow thanks, the wheels I can get have the same backspacing and width as these, so now I know they wont work for me.

    Looks great and sure gives the 4door a muscle car look :) .

    I have 15x8 on the back of mine with 275/60/R15 and no rubbing. I have 4 leaf springs though..... I believe that the rims have a 3.5" backspacing....I'll have to check my papers.... I honestly can't see ANYTHING any wider fitting with no rubbing. I know this wasn't exactly the question asked, but I thought that maybe it would help. Good Luck and take care!! Preston
