Re: Misc Ramblings

["Mark Price" <mprice@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The wheels are 4 1/4" backspace on both the 7" and 8" I have 4 1/2" backspace on the rear and I need them out that extra 1/4" as the 255/60/15"s rub the springs and inner wheel wells a touch at times.
I'm not concerned about the back at all, These will fit perfect!
   In the front I've got the car Lowered with 3/8" steel lowering plates and I have measured the stock wheels and strut repeatedly and it appeared that the best fit would occur with a 15X7" wheel with 4 1/2" back space. ALAS, none of those to be found at Carlisle. The 4 1/4" backspace should work. Tires are 205/60/15" and they are used from my wife's car. So plan is to fit everything up and pray that it works out.
It should. If it doesn't I can order up custom offset rally wheels or move to 15X6" or take the Lowering plates out and order springs and start from scratch!
   Selling the 2 15X7" wheels will be a piece of cake as they are brand new and dual bolt pattern having both the 4x4 1/2" pattern and the 4x4 3/4" pattern! One way or the other I'll get it right sooner or later!
   I wanted Torque thrust wheels, but the rear would require a custom Torque thrust II two piece wheel and the cost was $240 a piece.
I paid $270 for the whole set of rallys. Plus this is a college town and the rallys won't attract the thieves as much as Torque thrusts would!!!
Plus, I'm lazy! It is much easier to clean a steel rally then clean all the sppokes on the Torque Thrust!
