I don't remember the offset, but they would be hard to tuck on 2wd sheetmetal. Bedsides would have to have some major flaring done to them and hope for major camber up front. I have got around 3/4 of an inch clearance on my 4x4 sheetmetal. Seems like they are a 18x8 with a 5.5 backspace but dont quote me on that.

Was it hard to drill them out?? I went to pick some up from my buddy but I ran out of money during xmas!! Plus I still have to get a 4bi driver fender too, what tire size you go with??

I didn't drill them at all. I just ground off the tabs on the hubs. I am running 215/35/18 tires.

They will not tuck on 2wd metal. I had to roll the inner fender lips front and rear. They tuck though. I chose to have a friend of mine machine the inside .660" and they fit like a dream. I am just not a fan of grinding the tabs off of the stock hubs. Here is a pic of mine laying frame in them. I did not pie cut the UCAs and I am running drop spindles, so a stock spindle will give you more -camber and tuck easier still. -ED

I wasn't to sure on grinding the hubs down on the truck. I like the drilling out of the wheel hub. I am running 4bi everything except the driver front fender, if you know somebody that has one for trade/sale let me know. I can't find the 4bi's in the valley, they are needle in a haystack. The local recycling joint wants 83$ ordered. That is like four full tanks of gas. You should get some Mazda center caps off a cx7 or something lose to cap off those bad boys!! ha My homie still has the wheels, I just have to come up on the money.

did any of you have pictures of the front of the tire using the 215/35? I just got some wheels and am wondering what tire size I should use. I want the tire to be squared and not rounded, if ya know what I mean. I was thinking either a 215/35, or a 225/40... thanks in advance.

I believe Ed is running 215/35's on his.

I think I can see the back better than the front in that pic, and it looks rounded. Front has too much of a shadow to see the tire very good. If that's a 215/35 on the back wheel, then I probably need the 225/40... what you think?

I actually had to go look cuz I couldn't remember. I am running a 225/35/18 and yes the sidewalls are nearly squared. I would run a 245 width if you want square. I did not because the price is more than doubled for the 245/35/18. I payed a little over 500 mounted and balanced. the 245's would be over a thousand before mounting and balance. 235/35/18 are a very uncommon size. Tirerack only offers 2 kinds and they are a bit spendy too. Anyways if you really have to have square sidewalls 245's are the way to go, but if you are on a budget go with the 225's. -ED
