Ratfink
Hey ratfink ,
Dennis asked me a question via e-mail I can't answer. I've told him these are 5 on 5 1/2 , 8" wide although my tape read 8 1/2 bead to bead and 3 1/2" backspacing.
Here is the question from his e-mail, any feed back appreciated:

You said 5 x 5 1/2, so they will fit our truck, but you said something
about the fit on the front. I put 79 front discs on my truck, so they
will still fit right?


I'm not sure the finalization of the transaction hinges on this but it may.

it would have to do with back spacing on the wheels so they dont rub the calipers. i have no idea if they would or not.

oh and on a different note i'm sure we can find some of those kind of girls up here when you get here next weekend. ha ha.

the blue writing is asking aboutthe fit onto disc hubs vs drums i am guessing. i dont know if the calipers would rub a wheel if it was put on a disc hub vs putting it on a drum hub. i would think it would fit and not rub but i have heard of some wheels rubbing the calipers on some swaps. i doubt it would do it in that instance but i am not 100% sure of this.
