We have an old pair on american torq-thrust originals, and i really really want to use them, but i'm not positive that they'll fit so hopefully someone can help me. They are 15 by 8.5 and when i measured the offset it came out to 3.5 inches. Its written on them saying that they're 1 1/4 positive offset. I'm not sure if this has already been covered, i did a search and didnt find anything about 8.5 inch wheels. Hopefully somebody out there knows!
I'm not 100% sure but I think they will fit. If nothing else just go pull one of the rear wheels off of your car and stick one of them on there.
I'm afraid it will stick out too far. Most Mavericks are having to run 4.5 offset. I think that inch difference is gonna hurt but it will really depend on how big of a tire you plan on running.
i would have tested them already but they have ten inch tires on them so it wouldnt be accurate i know that the rims clear the springs with no problem, and i'm planning on rolling the wheel well lip also. about the tire i dont mind the size as long as its not low profile.
so i was reading back on the forums and i have decided to not even try with thte americans. i found these in another forum. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/15X4...002QQitemZ120194722165QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW so heres my question. i'm going to run the 4.5's up front. so what offset / size should i get for the rears that wont rub?
lol, yeah we have plenty of cars to use em on here. they'll probably just become rollers for a while though.
i'm currently running 5's i believe, and i like em! but they're my dads rims so i need to buy my set soon
