    You could use an adapter to do the swap from 5 x 100 vw, to 5 x 114.3 toy, but, If you plan to bag it or drop it hella low, Ide be concerned with offset. SO fit is possible, but plan to spend about $100 or more to do it . . .

    $200 is a kick ass deal espically if they have tires too...even if the tires are too big you can always sell them to help fund some smaller ones. As for making them fit I would bolt them on & see what/if they hit/rub anything. Im thinking you may need to go with some 1-inch spacers like I did on my truck in the front. :)

    well....around here its VERY hard to find anything like that, and i don't think shipping from Tampa would be very cost effective....lol

    edit: just checked and cheapest i saw going back to the 1st of Jan is 150$.

    If you check Shreveport's listing, you wont find hardly anything.

    backspacing is what you are ultimately after sure they will bolt up but will they sit too far into the wheel well. Jeep rims have a high backspacing around 5.5" for most stockers. TJ canyon Rims are a little better but still don't give you any real stance. Ford on the other hand made many good looking stock rims for explorers and rangers that have a backspacing of 4" which will look much better in the end. That my .02$ at least :cool:

    the mustang rims will fit and that price is a lil high, but i paid $175 for my 97 cobra's with no tires. so not that high at all with decent tires.


    with the tires its a deal, cept for the pony hub caps. but a lil bondo and some paint you'd never know :D

    Well, I'm going to go pickup the jeep rims and see what they look like on either the s-10 or the Toyota "what ever they fit...lol"
    At 40$ for the set, i can justify adapters or spacers, and if i need an adapter, ill have the room to add it since they sit back anyways.

    At least all this sounds good I'm my head, I have honestly NEVER bought rims of any kind for ride i have owned...lol
