Tony, I spent hours on the web searching for these things. And days all over Anchorage searching each tire/wheel shop. These are the best deal your going to get, unless you have something custom made. There 4.25 back spacing just buy wheel adapters if you need less back spacing.

Mickey Thompson makes an aluminum 12x wheel, but seriously for some reason in 16" these things a hard to come by if there not custom made. I was hoping to find a 14 wide 16" steelie and had no such luck

Thanks for the link Deric. I haven't been able to find anything either. I can get them custom built for $250 each .... rediculous.

I guess I'll take a look at those cragers and see what they'll cost to get up here.... I might be able to make that BS work... but because of how tall my rig sits I don't think it will work without the spacers. I am running a 2.5 inch BS right now... and its about perfect, but I could still see 2" and be ok with it....

Best place to get spacers?.... http://www.matsuvalleyohv.com/vbforum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif


I'll tell you whats lame... is responding in two different places....:ack2: Enough with forums already.... sheesh :sosp:

I can give you a copy of my invoice as soon as the wheels show up at my door but they charged me right at 20 bucks a wheel in shipping so for 480 and you can have a set. The best place I've found spacers has usually been Ebay locally there rediculous.

Yeah... its looking like thats the route I'm gunna have to go. About 700 for the wheels and spacers.... rediculous :ack2:

Well, My wheels according to fedex are suppose to show up on the 20th, so once I get the titans mounted maybe we could test fit them to see if they'll work. I didn't know how much of a hurry you are to get the wheels ordered. I don't know about using them though:nono: I'd be pretty jealous if I didn't get the maiden voyage on them. I will keep an eye out for 1.5-2" spacers, too.

[TonyM]

I wouldn't mind testing a wheel out... after all thats really all I need. I'm sure it will fit though. The problem with the rims Joe has is they get a couple inches smaller in diameter in the middle... and it won't clear my drums. As long as these wheels don't do that, they should be fine.

You gonna buy Joes ags for the bko? That will be sweet.:D

Well... not so much. I'm going to try and talk him into trading me for my boggers. He said regardless if I can find wheels I can run them though till he needs them... but he's been mentioning "I really want some boggers so I can still street it..." so who knows....

Regardless he will need the new wheels as well so atleast I won't be stuck with them if we don't work something out.
