How did they fit? I just ordered a set of these wheels front and back with the same front tires and the Hoosier 28" tall Dr's in the rear. I ordered mine from Summit racing. The order said 4.50/4.75" rims, front was 1.75" back spacing and the back was 5.5" back spacing. I guess they are made to fit Ford or Chevy.. Did you have to do any grinding on the calipers?

just for the heads up you will need longer studs. The greg weld studs are 2 and 1/4" long and your stock studes only go about 1 1/4" s in. Therefore it does not ender the hex portion of the studs. I am going to just get arp 2.5's should be enough

You have to get new open ended lug nuts.

How was the fitment? did you need to clearance the brakes or use spacers? Tires look big for the rims.

no grinding just put them on and everything works good. Will need longer studs though to pass tech. Tires are reg sportmans that fit 3.5" rims and they are 26" tall. I needed dot tires for the class i run
