    I have to finish mounting it all up and I'll get pics(honda slave cylinder- went to the parts store and got universal 4' brake hardlines- prop. Valve goes to slave, other line off slave goes to T-line off the diff.. Make a bracket, make a handle and done)

    Factory chevy pickup rims- believe they were 15x7 close to a 0 offset

    Tires were 195 60 15 but have since changed to 195 65's

    Gm never used the 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern those wheels look to be generic wagon wheels.

    I'm running 205/60's on the front and 195/60's on the back and everything clears well with 15 x 7" wheels with about a -50 or so offset. Did you flare the fenders? It looks like it but its hard to tell in the pics.

    No they are factory early 80's jeep cherokee wheels. 15 x 7 with around 4" backspace. I do have some super light 3.5" backspaced 15 x 8's but I'm too low to make them work without major work.

    One of these days I'll have to look up how the metric backspacing is figured. I ASSume its in millimeters I just don't care enough to learn. :lol:


    Small Ford truck, 2x dodge dakotas, and early to mid 80's half ton dodge all used the same bolt pattern. I have had several sets of those white spokes. Pretty standard to use them for snow tires around here.
