planning out my rims, need some help

[adumb]

those wheels look so damn good... im trying so hard not to follow the crowd on this! But there is a reason they look so good i guess lol

true, but ive heard everyone talking about getting them but this is the first that ive seen with them...and you dont see many gbodys driving around anyways so whats the chances you run in to one with these wheels...you have better chances seeing one with 26s lol

O god, when i lived in North Carolina there was SOOOOOOOO many 80's cars with 20+ wheels. there was actually a company that rented 2 own chrome 'dub' rims. i thought that was ridiculous.

Wow those are great looking. I'm planning on getting a set to run on my Cutlass though it will need a new engine before I buy the wheels :lol:

thanks to F&F im sure there is gunna be a big population of them, i may get them on a s10 extreme though if i get the truck


i cannot even think of the last "donk" ive seen to be honest... the dissapeared around here

where i live in western ny, they srsly do not exist at all

in NC, just outside of Charlotte, they were... well... rampant would really be the only word to describe it.

Edit: 'donks' i mean

They look awesome, exactly what I wanted.....

My neighbor has a dog that looks just like yours...his has a bad hip and can't walk well and can't jump up.

Thanks for the perfect response to what I want...now I can't wait to get mine.

Oh yeah and I am deff. not trying to follow a crowd myself, I wanted them last year because they are cheap rims, 😀 But I guess when I am driving it some young punk will say something then I will run them over.

I might paint my car red on the bottom and black on the top so these rims will really break everything up.

I want to go with 15x8 rims and have a nice sized tire that is almost flush with the wheel well lip both ways,,,meaning sticking out and height,, but will not hit the frame. What else do I need to know???? Backspacing???
Thanks in advance.

For a 15X8 wheel, 4" backspacing will be just about perfect. A lower number will cause problems at the wheel lips at stock height or below. Anything greater than 4" will be to close to the frame in the rear, and may rub the frame and/or upper control arm in the front. I have 275/60's on my El Camino in the rear, and 235/60's on the front, and clearances are real tight everywhere, but it works fine with no air in the shocks unless the bed is loaded.

x2 on the cheap. i was looking at using some junkyard steelies cuz i didn't want to reuse the 14 inch aluminums on my car. then i saw someone post about these and googled it. it was like 'hmmm, i might be able to have a decent wheel and not pay out the a$$.'

i'm really not worried about anyone saying anything. of course 2 weeks ago was the first that i heard of them.
