Wheel Back Spacing Question.

[First5.001]

Searched about 2 hours with no definitive answer. Swapping to 5 lug and planning on running steel D window wheels. A friend said I have have the set he has. They're 15x8 with 4" back spacing. Before I swap and have no wheels that'll fit....Will these work? I keep seeing everyone recommend 5"+ or lower with wider wheels. Thanks.

They're going to stick out. If you don't mind that look then go for the gusto

Will it rub when I turn hard?

Can't say for sure, but those really sound like truck rims which aren't optimal for our cars.

Yeah they're off his jeep. Haha. I was looking into some bart wheels, but free is a hard to beat price.

Stay 4 lug until you can find some properly backspaced and offset rims. I'd they are free sell them and add that to your budget. D window steel rims will get you down the road, but damn.....

Rumor is the "pony" wheels are a hot ticket, correct? I'd like to sell them when I get the other wheels.

Hot??? I doubt it. Easy to sell? Yeah, if they are in decent shape lots of guys still running 14 and 15 inch wheels pick them up. Let's not kid ourselves though. It's not the early 90s and there are a butt ton of wheels out there for our cars now.

Ah. Had a guy that parts them out tell me he gets $300 for a nice set. I prefer 15" more rubber between the road and the rim, better ride.

300 for a " nice" set that had decent rubber is a fair price. Avg price for less than pristine ponies and worn tires is maybe half of that. Lots of guys ditching 4 lug cobra r's and 5 lug wheels in the 3-500 range. It's killed the stock wheel market.

Gotcha. Again, I'm new to these. Not an aluminum wheel guy. Never had luck with them. And I like the look of steel wheels more.

Maybe with decent rubber.

Back in the 90s, they were hot. A good set could easily get $600 or so. There weren't any good 4-lug options and 79-90 guys wanted them on their cars.

These days, plenty of 4-lug options and many guys going 5-lug. The last few pony wheels I sold were at $25/rim without a tire.

Oh and those wheels won't work. They will stick out and you will not be able to turn.

Thanks. Good to know before I swap and have no wheels to put on.
