Anyone know of any 15" that will fit besides the Cragars?

I'm starting to open up to the steels, but if I can, I'd like something else first.

Default Thanks for the help

Well, I just ordered the Cragar 365 V-5 15x8 with -19mm offset and 3.75 BS. They are a black steel wheel. They are half the price of the streetlocks but more then the Soft 8. They are also TPMS friendly and the sensors cost a net $34 installed.

I ordered the Cooper STT 33x12.5x15 with them.

One argument for now is if you go with the 16's you can buy the new km2.

I really wanted the Coopers. I have to tell you that you Yanks are awfully lucky. I could get the tires, wheels, TPMS sensors, mounting, balanced and replacement guarantee all for the price that I could get JUST the TIRE in Canada.

Not only is your gas cheaper but all the mods/parts are too. Lucky i only live 75 miles from the border.

When you say "spacers" you don't mean the spidertrax type if they are only 1/4 inch do you. Are you referring to a washer type. If so where did you get them?

got the spacers at pep boys, look in the lugnut section by the wheel and tire display..they slip over the wheels studs and sandwich between wheel and rotor...i think they are 17.00 a pair, you will only need for the front, the rear doesn't have a problem clearing caliper face. if i get by pepboys will take a pic to post..
