Obviously you meant 16x8, are you running any spacers with that? Also are you running a stock suspension? It doesn’t seem like it but wanted to know for sure.

I’m looking into getting those wheels with either the Hoosier QTP 26x9.5 or the Hoosier 255/50 16
 
What’s the problem with the rear? Why does it require spacers?
...because the tire won't clear the rear knuckle. This is what the backspacing looks like with my DR's on and no spacer, the tire doesn't clear once I drop it on the ground.

What size tire are you running?

Exactly what they said, the tire rubs the knuckle. Especially since my car is a 2gb however, when I did my awd swap I swapped it with a 2ga rear end. The 2gb knuckle actually has about 2mm(?) or so of extra room for a wider tire.
 
Anyone have experience with the 2g GST 5 spoke rims with 26" tires for clearance? I have an extra set of GST rims and was thinking about putting the 26" Hoosier QTP's on them. I am going with the 26" because it's an auto.

im on coilovers and no spacers. planning on going to a 255/50/16 toyo when these are smoked if I don't go bias ply.
 
Can you post more pictures of your setup please? Does your wheels stick out of the fenders at all?

they do poke a little. but i have yet to have any issue with them rubbing with the suspension setup i have. i should have a few more pics on my build thread as well.

I'm sorry if it was already posted, but what size spacer did you use for the rear? Thanks
 
15" slips no spacers and M&H 235/60-15 bias ply. KYB AGX on prokits.
