I was going to go do some measurements later...

Yea I would measure as I think you will have tread outside the arch.

Low offset wide rims need at least some stretch...

Did the math, I need 1/2" more height clearance in the wheel well from stock

And 0.79" (20mm) total width clearance. This doesn't seem like a lot, so I'm thinking it should fit.

Just need to measure where stock wheel exists in the well, and determine what offset to get.

I have access to a fender roller and I'm not afraid to take a sledge to the spring mount.

Too bad it snowed today.

Also speedo should read 4% slow. (100 on the clock is 104 on the gun)
