    So, if we were to put a 17x10 on the rear, would the backspacing stay the same as the stock rally wheels? I would assume yes since we are increasing the diameter of the rim, and by using the same backspacing as the stock wheels, the extra width would then be to the outside of the rim, right?


    Those look good!

    OK i have finally decided to go with staggered 22-10" rear and 20-8.5 front,i also want as fat tires as possible like 305/35/22 if not 285/35/22 .The stock offset is 0,what offset do i need to make it even or inline with the car body as in perfectly symetrically in the wheel well.I`m not going with a deep dish or side lip but flush 5 spoke.The highest offset i found was a +10 doesn`t come in a negative offset any ideas.

    I think your going to rub on the inside rear. If you still have a stock style exhaust on the car the pipes come into the rear wheel wellsover 2 inches.

    No i had the exhaust completely redone and slightly modified to accomodate a larger tire.

    For improving the suspension, check out Yardley's site: www.1badriv.com and look for his sway bar mods.
