15inch + factory wheels
I'm looking for a wheel that I can use when I install my 3inch drop spindles. I dont want to have to clearance the lower control arms to clear the wheels. Is there any factory gm wheels that might fit? Im going to pick out some aftermarket wheels later I'm just wanting to go ahead and drop it

Re: 15inch + factory wheels
I'm told the narrow rally wheels that came factory on the vans will work. I believe they are 7" wide with the correct backspace.

Re: 15inch + factory wheels
Im looking for a wheel that is larger then 15 so I dont have to cut the lower control arm to keep my turning radius Are the van wheels larger?

Re: 15inch + factory wheels
I had the same issue and just used a wheel spacer to push the wheel out some to clear the lower control arm. This may be an option if you plan to get larger wheels later.

Re: 15inch + factory wheels
Do you think these will work? At less then 100 per wheel I could use thes for a while

Re: 15inch + factory wheels
The van wheels are narrower so you don't have to clearance issues. Why are you concerned with trimming the A-arms? If you are worried about making them weak, you can box the bottom side.

Re: 15inch + factory wheels
