how far do they stick out? maybe a set of GS fender flares would take care of it.

by how much? a little poke won't hurt. some smaller tires would make it look less redneck, and if you are low, it would actually look damn good.

Rears arent the issue... Its the front... Its actually kind of sexy when the rear stick out a little... But I think the fronts going to sit out about a 1/2 inch of so... I have a pic of it somewhere!

Couple updates!
1st... Mounted and balanced the rims are tires! (looks sick!) BUUUUUT! The weights on the inside of the rim are JUST barely skimming the top of the front calipers.... So Im going to ask my boss to re-balance the front tires and see if he can distribute the weights a little differently...
2nd... My SS brake lines are too short for these calipers... Have to give my brake guy jeff a ring and see if we have an alternative...
new tires
new caliper brackets
Final resting place for the calipers

thats coming out great! they make low profile sticky wheel weights or you can do a static balance where the weights only go on the inside edge, furthest from the face.

Look at the pic, theres no lip on the front of the wheel to clip weights to, so hes gonna have to go with stickies or inside mounted

static balance is when you only have the weights clipped onto the lip on the INSIDE lip of the wheel. facepalm
