i borrowed a buddys wheel its the jegs "prostar". its a 15x10 w 6.5 bs. had to take a minimal amount off the fins of the brake caliper on the rear as well as remove the toe link bolt and replace it with a round head carriage bolt. When I say it was a close fit I mean it is very close tire was a hoosier quick time pro 27x11.50x15. Had the car on a lift and when I went to lower it I stuck a block of wood under the tire to make the suspension travel into the car and with this setup (that wide of a tire) it would take trimming the inner lip of the fender and possible minimal rolling. I can possibly bolt the rim back up tomorrow and get a pic if anyone wants to see it.
