Keep in mind that the area that will suffer is still the lower part of the front fenders and even with flush or narrower fitment, that area still gets a ton of rock chips unless you have flaps.

I think your new rear bumper must be like mine? 80's style?
I will probably continue with plans to polish the wheels them regardless and give them a shot to see if the width grows on me, I have wanted slots for years. Maybe not where your at but it is ticketable over here to be outside of the fender wells, but i do believe the cop would have to be in a bad mood or just an ass. It may not look so bad when mounted. I was however shocked to find out how expensive the lug are gonna be..

Don't tell nobody but the bumper came off of a 4 letter F word. I have given thought to trying to modify the old bumper being as i have a Mig and Plasma cutter till i can find a different period correct bumper that i like.
