Hey Brown, I can't answer your question directly and I know Don has been under the weather and maynot be responding to posts presently although I really can't speak for him. If you look through past threads here in this forum, do a search, you should find all kinds of specific info regarding wheels, tire sizes and offsets. Just about everything has been covered at one time or another, but I'm sure there is always something new to add. Good Luck, John

What size wheels are you thinking about (15",16",17") and what brand? The stock wheel size is 8" on the front with a 3.75" backspace. On the rear I use a 9.5" wheel with a 4.5" backspace. You need to pick a brand you like and then find out what width they come in. Then I can help.

Don ordered my wheels for the rear end I got with the kit I ordered from him. They stuck out the 1 1/2" from the wheel well that the new 8.8 rear ends with disc brakes are wider.
Measure your own so you won't get stuck with the wrong backspace. Just my 2 cents. |
