If they are, here they are from the side:

Cory/Tippy; do you have any side pics?
Are you having any issues with rubbing at the rear?
What are the offsets at the rear?
THANKS!

Cory's are 10.5" in the rear with a 52mm offset. You can see that they stick out too far and will rub.

You should add an antenna with a raccoon tail off the top... looks like the back of an old mustang

You dont have to tell me, I know first hand.
I remember the night bolting them on, I knew it was going to rub with the 295's.

They are not on my car right now (have the stock pizza slicers on), that is the only side pic I have.
Yes they rub with 295's, 275/285 will clear but will be out of the optimum range for the tire/wheel relationship. 10.5" should use a 295.
