Dear Dan, I just fitted a set of rims purchased from www.discounttiredirect.com I am really pleased as the fit and offsets are perfect! They are running a special on "Konig, Monsoon" rims and these are one of the few that offer the large rears with the 4 lug. They are mfg. in Germany and the quality is excellent. Fronts are: 15x6.5" 4-100 w/40mm offset ($125.ea) with 205/55R-15 B F Goodrich Touring T/A at $64.ea Rears are: 17x8" 4-100 w/20mm offset ($168.ea) with 245/50R-17 BFG Comp T/A's at $129. ea This put the whole set out the door incl. mount and balance for under $1000.! Front tire dia went from 23.2" to 23.9" (+2.9%) (one size smaller tire might be better, like a 50 series) Rear tire dia went from 26.1" to 26.6" (+2.1%) FYI: Hub pilot is 72mm Studs are 12mm x 1.0 pitch They really do look great. Historically I have chromed/black painted the stock rims and while they really look good, these are much more agressive looking. I am pulling out a twin turbo and installing a Northstar in this runner, so have not driven it yet.
