Anybody know od rims that will fit on my 84 mazda i know ima have to shave the hubs on the front but wonder what i would have to do for the rear because the housing is hug on the rear axle.

thanks YDOC

do not shave the hubs, take the wheels to a machine shop and get them bored out.

What kind of wheels you looking for? I can give you a ballpark figure, as I pretty much tested the waters on seeing what tucks and what dont.

ima have to say like eskies or 6 lug chevys uhm navys

I had navis and they fit fine, I've seen eskys on our truck. But they looked real close to rubbing in the rear.

well man im not going to lower it much just a nice static drop with a decent paint job

what do these "eskies" come off of, cuz if im think right the guy with the old green truck has some on his, and they are dooopppeeee... haha i want some.
and yeah machining out the rim would be the better bet...imo i posted something a few months ago and everyone got on my ass about how i said shaving the hubs was a bad idea.....look at this now lol

well i know that u can shave the spikes on the hubs and such on a 86 and newer to fit aftermarket rims and it wont hurt a thing but the 84 and earlyer the rear hubs are differnt. thats why i asked if you could just grind a little off just fit.

Grinding the hubs won't do a thing for navi wheels. You will still have to get them redrilled to the correct pattern.
