Default Another Rim thread..........

Alright guys i got a 99 ls 4x4 i want new rims. I want black offroading look wheels like wolfpack has Now i dont plan on lifting in the nere future i will eventually just not soon. Right now i have Toyo H/T 235/75/R15. What rims can i get that are black and look like the cragars, and so i dont have to trim my fenders. I plan to get some BFG A/T's but i want rims first and then im just going to mount my toyos on the new rims and save up for tires. Thanks BTW ive searched like a million times so dont flame me

Go to www.4wheelparts.com they have pro comp rock crawlers that are a great deal. I got the 97 series they are 15x8 and have 3.75" in of backspacing and i have the new interco super swamper TRXUS sts29x 10.50 tires. I would anvise you to get the 4" backspacing wheels for the front though. My fronts stick out a lil more but i like the stance myself. Will have some pics for you within a couple days if you would like to see first.

You would be better off getting the 15X7 rims with the 4.5 inches of backspacing rather than the 15X8 rims. Less stress on your front end components plus a better size rim for the size tires you are running.

I just got some basic, stainless steel center caps from Summit Racing, I believe. You will need 3.3 inch center caps (or very close to that) and whatever you do, DO NOT get chrome. They will rust out so fast it is unbelievable.

And, yes, those last rims you put up would do you better, IMHO.

yes, i agree with the 7', wish i would have just gotten sevens, not saying my 8's dont work well because my blazer handles better now on road than it did before with the stock wheels and tire size. But i did have to do a lot to get it that way.
