Re: searchin for wheels
A bit too much backspacing. You would need to run wheel adapters/spacers.

Wrong bolt pattern and waaay too much backspace. Like Wild83C10 said, you will need to factor in wheel adapters/spacers to the cost.

Re: searchin for wheels
Wrong bolt pattern, but you'll need some spacers to run them anyway so that's not really an issue.

Re: searchin for wheels
awesome, thanks for the reply guys!
so heres what i'd like to understand better. so the bolt pattern is easy enuff to figure out. but as far as the backspacing, wheels size and tire size im still iffy on. as always with building our rides we want the best of both worlds, and this truck will be no different. having said that, what i'd love to be able to do is run some 18inch nice lookin wheels with like a mickey thompson et street on 4 corners for street driving, but also be able to bolt on some slicks on a lightweight wheel for the track. what considerations should i pay special attention to in getting this to work and not look retarded. Thanks Guys! |
