With wider offset rims you'll replace you're frame rubbing with fender rubbing. Ask me how I know. I have 15x8 wheels with 31" tires and the always rub against the inside rear side of the fender and fenderflare. Pounding the seems helps a bit, but isn't perfect.

i think an al black rim will be too much, the chrome/aluminum accents would look good imho, also i think steelies look good no matter what

could you do me a big favor hlpressley... I am thinking of getting the same size tires and wondered if you could take the measurement from center of wheel to bottom of fender as shown in my pic below



and correct me if i am wrong but you said the setup in the pic was/is before BL...

I plan to have them powder coated soon. Any color suggestions? I like the teflon semi gloss black or maybe gunmetal silver. What do you guys think?

Yes this is before BL but it will be in the mail on Monday as I am rubbing the inside fender pretty bad with the new wheels. I also just purchased a set of LC coils tha should give me quite a bit more lift in the rear and get rid of the sag. Thanks alot for all the help guys.

Nah, My wheels are stock, and they're chrome. I love chrome, just not when gone overboard. If you scratch em or something then do it, but I'd leave em as is if I didn't need to change it.
