I have a 1989 that someone converted to a 5 lug setup. I want to buy some rims for slicks. If this is a setup from a newercar, is the rear end width the same as original. I want to go with the widest rim without doing a lot of remodeling.

I have a new set of Weld 15X8 with 5.5 offset, but was thinking about going with 15X10 with 6.5 offset.

Thanks

Need to know what brakes are on the car to give you a good answer. Post pics. There are a few different brake setups that will give you 5-lug, so hard to say what rims you can use without knowing that

Sn95 rear disks....94-98 it looks.

They are 0.75" wider each side as compared to standard Fox offset. You will need some deep backspacing if you want to run 10"

So the wheel in the last picture is probably as good as it's going to get??? 15x8 with 5.5 bs.
