Re: Wheel And Tire Information
Can anyone tell me if these will fit my '99 with the lift and 235-75-15 BFG AT tires?
I think white wheels would look pretty nice...

Re: Wheel And Tire Information
I might be worried about the sliding door not clearing.... if the back spacing is 6" it may be just a little to much but you can usually get those style wheels in many different backspacings.... be awrae that that white paint turns to rust very very fast!

Re: Wheel And Tire Information
Gotta read the descriptions a little better boys. The rim has the same measurements as the "Aftermarket 7" alloy wheel with 3 3/4" Backspace" listed above. The backspace is 3.750" in the ad.
Conclusion, yes they will fit just fine.

Re: Wheel And Tire Information
You know what might be cheaper? Get the wagon wheels off an old Astro in the junk yard and paint them yourself. Grumpy will be using some of these painted red.

Re: Wheel And Tire Information
I played with that a bit. I guess I am old school... My fav's are the American Torq Thrust D, with the painted centers, followed closely by the Salt Flat Specials (painted center), old "Daisy" style 5 spoke, the and then the Ansen 5 hole slotted mags.ihatemybike wrote:View wheels on your van

Re: Wheel And Tire Information
i see U.S. Wheels and American Racing makes Smoothie wheels.....Does offset come into play? Or is backspacing more detailed in selecting? i'm in the market for 15x7 smoothies.

Re: Wheel And Tire Information
The US Wheels 15 x 7 Smoothie has 4.125 back spacing.
The American Racing 15 x 7 Smoothie has 4.24 back spacing.
Looking at the rim diagrams above both would easily fit with no problem.
