Looking For New Wheels

[hutch]

It's not as simple as it sounds, obviously.

Looking at some American Racing. Narrowed it down to a couple.
Any other makes anyone is aware of or can recommend?

I'm looking at 16" OR 17" max.

Does anyone know the offset of the stock 14X6 wheel?

Thank you, again.

OK, got the wheels. JDM 16X8. 0 offset. 17 lbs. :))
Will post some pics when they're on the truck.

Do you have a link? I'm looking into getting wider tires and need rims that are wider to but can't find the right sizes and dishing

nice wheels .

I just put a on a wheel without a tire. I think it looks pretty darn good. Iv'e got the centers apart, cleaning and maintenance.
Couple of interesting things just to share.

Although my stock sport wheels might have a 108mm bore which I still haven't measured. I have measured the front hub and rear, it comes out to approximately 93mm. When putting on the stock center cap there is an enormous amount of play. This concludes me to believe that the wheels are lug centric and not hub centric. The wheels purchased above do have a 108mm hub bore and don't come close to the mounting centers. I did purchase some 108mm to 93mm hub centric rings. If need be, I will turn some on my lathe if need be. The price was just to low to for me to go to all the trouble.

Oh, one more thing. These wheels are 16X8 with a 0 offset. The rear protrudes just about an 1/8 of an inch. The front is all apart so no measurements just yet.

Be carefull with tire choice - too wide and it will rub on the fender lip. Geronimo shaves the letters off the tires I have on him now - 205/55/16. The previous set of tires rubbed so bad I blistered the paint, causing me to raise the rear with the air shocks to prevent that from happening again. The axle is factory offset to one side, so only one tire rubbed. the offset is to allow the needle bearings in the u joints to rotate properly in the caps.

Thanks. I was going with 225/50/16.

That is a good looking tire. Install yours yet?

Thanks. Having the centers powder coated satin black.
Should have it back in a week. It will be a couple of weeks before it is on the truck
