aight thanks.. and another question, when i go to buy tires i was looking at maybe 275/50/15's cause my tires are shot, but whats the meaurement for a thicker sidewall? can i get the 275/50/15's in like a 26inch tire or 28 so it fills the back wheelwell more.

Those rims look like the ones that were all the rage back in the early 70s on a lot of vans, trucks, and dune buggies. I never knew the names of them. I always thought they were kind of cool back in the day.
