Thanks, it did have my heart pumping this am. The wheel is good to go

 

Whatever you say, Alx!
I appreciate your assessment of my endowment that you think GFY would even be possible.

 

Well I may be able to buy some time on tire decisions. Guess what size this is on the 29.

 

Better than caffeine for a heart starter!

 

265/70Rexplosionteen?

 

I hear ya. I honestly don't know the backspacing, when I get home I'll look it up. They are -6mm offset and 8.5" wide. They poke out slightly from the fenders with a 265/70. I figure if I don't move em this season I'll either try and buy a set of ORs and straight out sell em or paint them silver.

The only knock on then is a few minor nicks with the lug hole from the security socket. Not noticeable with the large caps on but barely noticeable with the smaller caps.

If you'd like pics of the side profile or anything else I can either PM them to you or email.

If you don't feel like trading, no worries @ all.

 

Your surposed to finish the 29 not steal parts from it I have nice garage bay it can sit in

 

True but my blood press doesn't need the boost

Pm inbound with email info

This is how all those stories begin. All I needed was one part and I figured I would put it back.

 

Thats 4.5" backspacing.

 

What is the stock OR wheels

 

Pretty sure it is 5.5" and they are only 7" wide. If you go with tall skinny tires in the future like 255/85/16 the max allowed wheel width is 8.5" so you wont have much sidewall bulge.

 

I have been calling around trying to find 255/85-16 . Sullivan has the Coopers for 245. each plus mount and balance. Summit is cheaper at 230. plus 38. delivery. My buddy is checking his supplier and mentioned Jetzon tires, he says he is running them and they wear well and are made in USA. I will research once I get home

 

The Horse is still on for a 12 meet on Sunday. If you are coming please update this post with your name.

Seems to be plenty of good deals on CL depending on what you are looking for. Maybe not for you Billy but maybe others.
Couple examples.
