Re: Stockton Wheels
I read on the H.A.M.B. when I was wheel shopping that they're not open anymore, but I don't know for sure.

Re: Stockton Wheels
I have used them twice and both times I was sent the wrong offset on the wheels. I was told that because they were custom to bad. Not only that it took them 6 months to get me the wheels. The other time the guy I was building the truck for ordered the wheels. I told him don't do it again the wheels were wrong and way overdue. I hope they are out of business.

Re: Stockton Wheels
I sent 4 vette rallies to be pc'ed, they were returned with some pc, and rust (they weren't rusty when I sent them). I'll never use them again, if they still exist. If they are out of business, it is not a surprise to me.

Re: Stockton Wheels
They are back. Some employees bought the company after the owner died and doing a better job,from what I've heard. 16.5 should have no problem clearing stock disc brakes,unless you want some crazy offset. Just go with what your present wheels have. Offsets were pretty much standardized till wheel sizes went crazy and extreme drops came along. 15" wheels clear factory calipers with minimal grinding of the casting ridge. I have a set of 8.25/9.75 Kelsey Hayes for sale on the parts board as we speak under title "Wheels Of Steel"
