Hey guys I’m going to look at some American racing torque thrust 2s shortly. Don’t have time to do proper homework. They are 255/50/17 with 4” bs going on 1980 Malibu with 1.5” drop on front end. These should clear ok yes?

I was running 15x8 with 3 1/2 back spacing and it was close so I'm gonna say no with 4 inch back spacing

I just measured the rims that were on it when I bought it and it’s almost 6” from mount plate to a flat edge on the tires and they just barely rubbed a bit.

Thanks for the help everyone. I checked them out. Too big to fit. With it slightly lowered in the front there’s no way they will clear.
