notching the frame in the rear ...

[lester622]

i wanna run the 15x10 wit 5" backspace rally wheels they only come in the 5" backspacing which sucks and they have 28x11.50x15 hoosier quick times i put them on the car wit a spacer and they come kinda close to the frame so i know when they grow they are gonna rub, so my question is how exaclty are yall notching the frame?

Look around a bit there are 3 or so posts in the suspension section about it now and there is a good write up in the tech section about it. You can reuse the outer skin if you are careful and it looks factory if you take some tim and planning
