Hey guys and girls,

Just wondering what the go is to fit 15x11 wheels on the rear of an LX sedan.

I've currently got 14x8 on the rear with cut guards and L34 flares...but looking to redo the flares as previous owner didn't do a great job. I'll be cutting more from the guards and a friend has somewhat convinced me to go 15x11 and A9X flares instead of going 15x10 with L34 flares.

I've got a 9" diff with HQ studs and drum rear brakes. I believe diff is standard length.

Looking to go Hotwire wheels but not sure if anyone does them in 15x11.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have 11ʻs, just need to get your back spacing spot on. Also do the A9X mod of tapping the  flat chasis seam in on the 45 degree parts in for more clearance.

Thanks myss427.

I'll keep in mind the A9X chassis seam mod too.

So you don't think diff will need to be shortened to fit 15x11 if back space is correct and seam mod is done?

Can anyone provide what backspace works on a flared LX with 9" diff for 11" wheels??
