How are you liking them? You've got 15x10s in the back, right? What's the backspacing? Also, are you at stock ride height? lowered? raised? Thanks! By the way, nice car!

Stock springs with air shocks. I let the air out of my shocks and drove it around like that. No rubbing unless I hit a big bump. And only the driver's side wheel well trim rubbed. If I cut the trim so it was flush with the lip, I think it would be fine. I did this on the passenger side and it doesn't rub ever. I also replaced all the bushings with poly graphite which helps keep the rearend from moving around. I'll email you a couple close up pics of the wheel well if you like.
