Could I run my 17x9 turbo twists in the rear w/o the stock rear spacers and not have to roll the fenders? 255/40 in the rear...

Anyone do anything like this or would they rub on the inside then?

i'm sure you need spacers not to rub on the inside...those wheels have 50+ET while the stock ones have about half of that.

IIRC, some *aftermarket* twists came with early offset that did not require spacers to run...

ahh, well these are OE I think because they are 55mm offset.

i read raceboy ran some 10" wide rears w/o the spacers, but im not sure what that offset was.
