Stick to a 10" wheel on the rears.
EXACTLY! I coundn't say it any better. That's what I meant earlier by the lip sticking out 1-2mm from the tire. IT'S BAD for the tire too. Not good for the steel belts within the tires. You will also have fast wearing down on the center as I did until I you put the correct tires on that rim. And then you would get serious rubbing when you hit pot wholes. That car is also lowered in that picture. If it wasn't, you may have a better chance with the proper tires on those rims. Stick with 18s.
