Re: rim ???? help
The rims and backspacing will work no problem, and to measure the bolt pattern
 and tire size I'm not sure Last edited by Dalaigh; 12-08-2010 at 07:53 PM. |

Re: rim ???? help
I think the widest tire you can run on a 15x8 wheel is a 275/_ /15. I run 275/50/15's on mine but they are not available anymore. If you can get some 15x10's out back you can run a 295/50/15 with a 4/6 drop. Plenty of guys here run that setup. Hope this helps.

Re: rim ???? help
How have you dropped it? Spindles, springs, control arms? or a combination of any of them? When the spindle is modified it then moves the edge of the rim closer to the LCA slight relief of the LCA is sometime done to eliminate the rub, some guys have installed a spacer in the wheel to move it out a bit more away from the LCA, or you can choose a wider rim, like 16". I know you found a good set on CL but it is all up to you.
If you dropped it with springs (which would be excessive and not recomended for a 4") then you might be ok because the LCA would still be the stock distance from the rim.

Re: rim ???? help
How bad is the chrome? is it just faded and scratched? or is it pitted and pelling?

Re: rim ???? help
If it's pitted and pelling, I'd have them sandblasted
