Default New wheels are on... Jegs Sport Mags

My new wheels are finally on... Jegs Sport Mags, 15x8, 5.5 bs rear, 15x4, 1.75 bs front. Tires are M/T Sportsman 26x7.5x15 fronts, Nitto 555R 275/50/15 rear.

The fronts required no grinding at all and fit perfect out of the box. The rears required a bit. It was a pain in the ***, because I was using a Dremel with a cutting wheel at the start... I gave up, put the old wheels back on, and drove it to the shop and did it there on the lift, using an angle grinder. SOOO much easier.

PICS!!!!


Mounting and balancing






Please ignore the fact that my car is dirty... Trust me, I know lol

Looks good, although I would of gone a bigger tire in the rear to fill in the gap.

Prolly... I'm hoping this setup lasts until after next deployment... I'm planning on a lq4/d1sc build, and a shortened 9 inch, some minitubs, and as much rubber as I can fit under the car.

This should hold me over for now, though. The tires I had on before were a disgrace.

Thanks, y'all... I fell in love with these wheels when I saw them. I love the way they turned out.
