back spacing is a clearance shattering 4.5" lol, the way to make them fit....sawsall baby, the front it cake, trim the platic bumper, make it a round cut looks factory, the inner fender in the front i just cut higher ( on the driver side flush with the botton of the resivor. the back thats tricky, when the wheel turns it wants to contact the rear of the wheelwell near the fender lip ( not good ) so i cut from next to the lip in about an inch and then tward the frame to take out a chunk and then i to a grinder to smooth it all out ans tied the inner fender farther back.

lol thanks, and yes 3 spots 2 of which are like a 2 min cut job ( front bumper front part inner fender ) its just the rear of the front fender that poses the problem. although it they where 18x9.5 on say 5"bs id probably not have to really do anything to the rear.
