Pics...Got the rims on right finally!!!

Hey guys thanks for all the suggestions on how to get the rims to fit and work. My brother took a look at them and told me where they were rubbing on the inside. So i spaced them out just a lil bit and it did the trick. Here are some pics with the rims on.

You really need to get the wheels on the correct end of the car, even if it means dismounting the tires.

I would imagine you would need at least 1/4" spacer to get the wheels to clear the tie rods. No need to do this if you don't have to.

Re: Pics...Got the rims on right finally!!!

it was the off set on the back of the wheels. the fronts were in the bigger tires for the back, and the rears where in the front. And the wheels put ont he front would hit the tie rod end. Got about a .25 inch space in between and they dont hit anymore. But ima get it down to the tire shop and get the correct tires on the correct rims.
