His situation is worse, he ended up with a 19 x 11 for rears.

I appreciate the feedback...depressing but still appreciated. I love these wheels so much compared to everything else that I have seen (within a first car budget). What about maybe flaring the rear of the car. Does anyone know of an inexpensive flare kit for these. To get the look I wanted on my 74' 911 I had to send the car out and have welded some very nice and expensive flares...I dont want to spend that much on this project but maybe there is a less expensive fiberglass kit I can have installed. The rear bumper cover has some cracks in it so it would not be unreasonable to replace it (because I have already been considering it). Thanks again for any help.

Here is a pic of my 74' 911

Attached is a pic of my 911
