These are 265/70X16 It fills the fender really good with a 8" rim. I want to go bigger.

235/60x16 are 27.1" tall and 9.25 tread width

255/70x16 are 30.05" tall and 10.03 tread width

265/70x16 are 30.5" tall and 10.43 tread width.

Both will be about 3" taller, and 3/4 to 1 1/4" wider

I have some 15" cragers. They have the 3 point spinner. Need to be blasted and re diped or painted. I have no use for them but they are for a s10. I think 5x4.5 is that correct.

No 5X4.75. F**d is 5X4.5 Unless it's a Uni Lug

ruffrida2005 09-12-2009 10:10 PM

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 
I think it's a uni lug, it's got little washers that go in so I believe you can change the lug patter if you have the correct ones.

Are the holes oblong?

I just dont have all the inserts for them. I bought a s10 and they only had like 2-3 on each wheel

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 
sorry for thread jacking 198. what rims are they the S/S or the 610? and how much did you spend for them if you dont mind. I need to sell mine. I have no use for them. The chrome is chipping off so they need to be blasted.

Strodder 09-12-2009 11:03 PM

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 
Try PEP Boys. They might have them.

Went out tonight and changed my 6 lug rearend to my new 5 lug 3.07....God it's so much fun doing this by yourself and trying not to scratch it.

Guess I'll start the 5 lug swap next.......Looking real forward to getting the ball joint rivets out.

Went out this evening and started my cheap disc brake swap using 1987 spindles...... Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be getting the rivets out of the top ball joints....... The hard parts over with now it's all tore apart and ready for re-assembly.....Pics coming soon.

ruffrida2005 09-21-2009 12:34 AM

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 
I talked to him Saturday, he's just chilling out a little right now....Soon as my doors get finished he should be back working on my truck and finishing it up.

Well things aren't working out to good for me on my disc brake swap.......I guess the 87 spindles I bought are not 87's after I had them powder coated.......Wheel Bearing want fit......Backing plate hits lower a arm......What a pain in the A$$..........:smoke:

from 81-up there are 2 different spindles...one is for 1 inch rotors, and the other is for 1 1/4 inch rotors. the bearings don't inter-change

198plus 09-25-2009 12:28 AM

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 
Thanks.........But the backing plate shouldn't be rubbing on the end of the lower control arm, that's why I think these are the wrong spindles...Maybe they are 1988 and up ??????????????
