What are the chances of getting 16X10's under theback with FG flares?

Found 16x10's for $125, and 16X8's for $99.

Want the 8's for thr front and the 10's for the back.

They are avalible in multiple offsets.

I doubt if you can fit 10's on the back. If they have the max possible backspacing, maybe, but if they are "stock" flairs, usually the biggest you can go is 9.

It all depends on the backspacing. Not having tried myself though, I can't say for sure...

But I've got 8's in back with only about an inch of flaring to the fender, so I'd imagine that with the right wheel, you could get a 10" wide wheel under a flare. But only if it has enough backspacing. 5" backspacing should do it... (that would give them a zero offset if they're 10" wide wheels).

FYI
this car has "10's" in the back, and is far from stock flares. about 3 inches were added to the flare.

I got 17X10's on back of mine with stock fg flares. The tires shown are street 255's in this picture. At track I run Hoosier 245/40ZR17's all around with excellent results. I would post picture but file too large. How do I downsize?

This is what I'm thinking about.

Wheels

They will do custom, so I can get them done 16X9

But was hoping to use standard ones and get them wider.
