Re: Tire sizes for 15x8

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Guys.  275 looks good.  Springs are stock and I just had them
re-arched.  Stance is nice now.

They're 15x8 with 4.5 inch backspacing; Wheel Vintiques from Summit.

Specialty Wheel has their own as well but they're $155 instead of $86

I'm hoping I can get my 14 inch hub caps to sit snug.  I spoke to a
guy at Specialty Wheel and he says the majority of customers have had
good success with full 14 inch hub caps.  I wasn't able to find a
number or anything for Wheel Vintiques so I couldn't talk to anybody
but Summit is good about returning stuff.

They should be sitting at home on my doorstep tonight; I'll let you
know how that goes.
