Re: [AMC-List] Disc rear interchanges/Was/Re: speaking of carburetors

[Russell Neyhart <rtneyhart@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After I bought my Eagle, I wanted a set of steel rims for snow tires, 
and a set of wider alloy rims for all-season tires.  The steel rims I 
bought were from the Tire Rack for a Wrangler or Cherokee.  The alloys I 
bought were from a Cherokee or Grand Cherokee.  The rear axle's spindles 
stuck out of the center of the wheels by 1 to 1-1/4".  I had 1-1/2" 
spacers custom made.  Pictures of the wheels on the car (before and 
after spacers) can be seen here: http://home.earthlink.net/~rtneyhart/
