I would have gone a little wider in the rear, something like 11 inch or at least 10". Looks like he needs a little more offset on the rears. Too close to the wheel well. Mine are a little close as well but I'm running my ride height higher. These are L50-15 tires, 11" tread, on 15x10 centerlines, 4 1/2" backspace. They can get tucked even further towards the frame. Plenty room in the wells. Man I cant wait to put my stripes back on.

They look like American Racing Torq Thrusts, like I have, but something about them is different, the lips arent the same. I have 15's, 7"s in the front, 8"s in the rear, 235/70s in the front, and 275/60s in the rear.

So many people make that style of rim, I think you would be hard pressed to find out exactly what company made them without finding a logo on the center or something.

True, but the style of screwed on center cap is what made me notice that they were American Racing. I did forget that there are different styles of Torq Thrusts though.
