Bridgestone RE-11's mounted

Thanks for the full pics Looks good. Now just need to space the wheels out about 15mm and a 1" drop and it will look awesome

I would drop it but I've already been scraping that front air damn. Ironically one of the worst places is where you have to go to get into the Nissan dealer, did it on the test drive, LOL. They need a folding one like the Corvettes have.

As for the wheels, I think eventually I'm just going to move up a size, 9.5" front, 10.5" or 11" rear. With the correct offsets they should sit just right.

I does have a folding one like the Corvette. It's just that each time I fold it, I have to go back to my tire store and have them drill out a couple of rivets and put new ones in for me.

LOL. Yes, a folding one that actually has hinges would be a good idea

So, without using spacers, is 11" the widest "wheel" we could use in the rear?

You can theoretically go to 12" in the rear and 10" in the front with the correct offsets.
