Need some immediate wheel/tire advice and assistance...

[ericbee]

I am on my final week of my LUBR build and the wheel and tire combinations are staggering. My builder is telling me that we cannot fit an 8 inch wide rim and that 7 is as wide as we can go. I can do a 15", 16" or 17" wheel but I cannot for the life of me find a wheel that is:

15, 16, or 17"
maximum 7" wide
5 x 5.5 bolt pattern
Aluminum not steel

Anybody got any links or advice? Maybe someone makes some aggressive backspaced wheels.

I have been looking for days with no luck. I have no idea how your LUBR guys did it, my builder says we will rub. HELP!!

Here's what my buddy runs on his. 15x7. I'm not sure what the offset is.

I think the backspacing is more important than wheel width. Although im not a fan of wide rims. I think a 7 or 8 is perfect. 10" gets to be to wide. The last few sets of rims we bought were ordered to any backspacing we wanted (every 1/4" incriment).

The KMC's in this thread would work but, I cannot find them for sale anywhere and I think they were discontinued. Please keep em coming...

search for some 15x7 slots and get them polished...those would look sweet!
