Wheels

Post by SLOroadster »

I have asked a bunch of questions on a set of wheels lately. Does anyone know if a 14X7 with a 3.75 backspacing and 0 offset clear with a set of 195/60s on them? My rear fenders are not rolled, however I am running the comp rear springs. I have a chance to buy a set of light wheels for $300 but I don't want to buy them unless they will clear.

Thanks,
Will
Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

They are billet, two-piece, rotary forged with 1625-1999 lbs load rating. 4" inch rear spacing.

As a matter of fact they have a 2-piece billet on clearance for $83 each...
