    Hey guys just trying to see if there are any better deal on skinnies.


    I need something to fit on the stock spare rims and all i can find are these M&H's
    http://www.mandhtires.com/store.php?crn=74&rn=368&action=show_detail
    Tried multiple tire shops and the smallest regular tire is 8 in wide.

    Next question is FoMoCo wants 240 for a spare wheel. No tire even! Where can I pick up another cheap?

    Thanks

    i'd go ebay but depending on how much your looking to spend, jegs has 15x4s that will fit with a 3/8 spacer. i'm supposed to be getting mine so i 'll be making a thread clarifying with pictures that this will fit. i've seen people run this before though.

    2x 89 bucks, then 51 each tire mounted and balanced, might make out cheaper then going with the stock spare.

    or you could look local, or a junkyard for a wrecked one or something.

    Thanks a bunch

    Hey where abouts are you? I have the factory spare wheel / tire that I will never use, if your local you can just come by and pick it up---its taking up valuable space in my garage and I want to get rid of it.

    i got mine today, i tried them on, and they only hit in one spot with a 3/8 spacer. i was rushing and it was dark out, so i think i might of installed it cocked, tomorrow i'm going to get at it again. i've seen 2 cars run these wheels no problem.

    pretty bummed out right now though, that was my gift to myself.

    good news. they work!

    i messed with them more today, and i got them to work. i tried to take pictures, but my phones being screwy, gunna try to figure out why later. but they work. so i think i may be buying tires tomorrow or i'm buying the rear 2 to make them fit.

    i used a 3/8 spacer and they are the 15x4 jegs sport stars, 5x4.5. woo. a 250 alternative to the 1600 for bogarts.
