any thoughts?

i'm going to try a set of older kmc rims, (16x8 with 6" backspace). tires are 245-50 on the rear, 205-50 on the front. by trying a little kentucky windage it looks lie 1.25" spacers should let the front tires clear the suspension-rears are no problem.
any thoughts, comments on this would be a great help.
thanks, bj

Kentucky Windage

it's a best guess on the spacers, homemade spacer on the stud . with pressure on the suspension it looks like the inner side wall will clear. if anyone has a better way , i'm open for ideas. my youngest son is an ase certified master mech, i make him nuts doing things this way (pay-back)!
i,ll be "winging" it with a zxr rear spoiler.

old, fat and happy, bj
