What is the back spacing on them?
 
What is the back spacing on them?

Pretty sure it's 4.5", or 4.3. I use 1.8" or 7/16" universal spacers on the rear. No interference without them. Just my preference for appearance. Of course, I replaced the stock length studs with 2" lug studs for safety.

Some of those wheel simulators are set up to up size in 1" increments, I don't know if they have wagons but they do have Gbodies

Dunno why it wouldn't work. Especially if the width isn't crazy and your wheel/tire doesn't exceed 26 inches. (Which I'm saying because I'm lowered quite a bit and my tires are roughly 26 inches tall. You could probably go a bit taller.)

What tire size you running? Im looking at the 255/35/20 from nitto and they are 27.01 tall.

315-30-18 squared on 10.5 wheels, everything else is the same, except the car is sitting about 1" higher because of some weight reduction going on. It will be dropped back down soon.

No rubbing on the 275/40? Did you have to roll the fender or any frame mods? I hope a 27in tall tire will fit on a wagon lowered 2in in the rear.
