Re: aluminum slot question
I doubt they'll fit, check backspacing with what you have and I bet the added 2" is to the outside.

Here's a nice website that lets you play around with different settings and it sure helped me to better understand what all the terminology means. Wheel and tire size calculator

Re: aluminum slot question
Rear will not fit unless you build bigger inner fender wells, even if the wheels were centered, front will not fit at all without fender interference...the widest you can get on the front is 8.5 rims, rear as I said will take a ten but will need surgery to do it...

Re: aluminum slot question
Had a set of Centerlines that Dad put on it 10 yrs or so ago...I think the front would be tight IF it fits. The rears WILL NOT fit, even with the "perfect" backspacing. Maybe doing a shock relocate will help, but I still think no.
Sorry.

Re: aluminum slot question
Not to insult anyone, but if you haven't measured the wheels yourself, I would do so before passing on them. I have found that there are still guys that don't know the correct way to measure wheels.
