Long story short, my current rims are tweaked. I need new rims pretty quick without spending a lot of dough. I have 15x7 with a 235/60/15 tire all around. I would like 8" in back, and would also like to be able to rotate my tires. Jeg's currently has some blemished Cragars for $49/piece...15x8 3.75 bs with -19mm offset. I'm new to the whole wheel/tire issue and have found charts that read -19 being the norm for an 8" rim. I am confident about putting them on the back, it's the front I'm not so sure. I have measured and determined that they should fit...with a 1/4" spacer.

I have read about others on here using 7" wheels with 3.5" bs. Is it okay to have this much backspace with an 8" wheel in the front? And is -19mm offset also okay for fronts?

Of course, if anyone has some 15x7 rallys they want to get rid of, I'll stop asking questions and start negotiating :mrgreen:
