I am swapping in an 8" rear and need to pick up some new 5 lug wheels. I want to reuse my 215 14" tires so I am just going to pick up 2 of the cheap modular steel wheels for now. I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5 but I need to know what backspacing to get? Also I am assuming that with a 215 wide tire 14x7 would be the correct width? Please help, trying to get this wrapped up.
Thanks
 
Your right about the bolt pattern. The backspacing should be 4.25. At least thats what it is with my 15x7 Magnum 500's. I have 215 60 15 front. You should be fine with what you want to do.
 
i am going to try to take one of my back wheels off today and measure the backspace the best I can to get an idea of what is on there now. They are aftermarket wheels but look nice and fit correctly. I just need 5 lug now!
