You will need to have the wheels measured to see if they were ever stretched to accomidate half size tires.

This is Great News to all you stock rim guys. Your Rims will expire in 1 year. "Sorry honey they expired and I had to get these NEW ones".

I think he means 1.5" wheel spacers, not coil spacers on top of his 3" coil lift.

I was just having a little fun. Welcome to the board and don't be afraid to ask questions. You may want to question some answers though. If you ever get to South Jersey look me up & I'll buy you a beer!
