    Im not sure but the guy brought them over, the bore was too small and if it hadnt been, they would have hit the upper control arm. I have the steel magnum 500 wheels...14". I'm just not sure I want to keep these or get others but I need tires badly but dont wanna spend 300 on used tires until i figure out where i am going from here.

    Why used tires? Add another $100.00 and get new tires. I'm running 14" Mag 500's 225*70's rear & 205's front.

    I can't drive it down the road yet. But am not sure what size tires I want or if I want to get different rims at some point

    But I wanna drive it!:yup: just not finalized on the look I want yet.
    I did do some reading and now have a better understanding of the difference between offset and backspacing.
    Merry Christmas everyone

    I also have a pair of same style US mag 15X8 rims with 255/60/15 ET streets for street car nights at MIR. Save for manufacturer differences, they are the same height and width as the Kumho 255/50R17s.
