well i decided to go with 285/75s but I got new nuts to use on the adapter and the guy sold me 12x1.25 nuts but they don't fit on my studs? I got a thread pitch gauge and the nuts I got read 1.50. So basically I didn't get to put the on tonight, the back looks good though. So I'm back to stock wheels until I get some new nuts. I'm thinking I might have some rubbing issues with the 8 inch wheels and 1 inch spacer. It looks like I might have to get out the old sawzall. :headbang:
new wheels and tires
Whats up guys? Hopefully I'll be putting on my new wheels along with some bfg a/ts tonight. I'm picking up my adapters on the way home from work and I'll take plenty of pictures. I'll hopefully have more up here by 8 tonight.

OK guys, the wheels are on and the X is minus some sheet metal. It was a minor trim but you'll be able to see in the pictures. The pics I tried to take didn't turn out well since its dark but hopefully I can get some this weekend while I'm out of town and have them for you Monday.
Its a bad paint edit, but underneath the plastic piece I cut some of the sheet metal back and bent some of the metal back to give some more clearance.
Not the greatest pics, but hopefully they'll hold you over until I get some ones in the daylight. It looks much better, and they only stick out about an inch and a half from the fenders. There is still minor rubbing but it is somewhere in the middle of the the turn, the extremes are fine. A lift will definitely solve the problem. I'll try to get some pictures of where its rubbing as well.

Heres an idea of the spacer... Measurements are in inches and some measurements could vary depending on the material and tools you have available. For example: the shop I got mine made at had a 1.150" bore and thats the size I used. I would not use less than a 28 mm hole otherwise sockets may not fit. Hope this helps you guys out. =]

Gruzen,
I'm not sure of the style of the wheels that will really determine if you need to mill them or not. I'm guessing they are going to be similar to the Soft 8s so you shouldn't have anything to worry about
