on that 14bolt of yours, are you running a disc or drum brake setup? just wondering if the brake setup is similar to my 10bolt. i ask this b/c awhile back i wanted to send my stock wheels off to the same place to have them widend 3".

as i looked into it some more, i found out that i would have problems with the rim hitting the calliper. this is with a 16" rim and would be worse with a 15" rim.



between the rim and that bolt on the calliper in this pic, there is 1" clearance.
I'm running the drum brakes. Hitting the calipers and bolt is the reason why. Also when using 15" wheels you have tons of choices on tire size. 6-1/2" is all the backspace you can have before the tire (13.5" section) gets too close to the spring.

in the 16x8s they have a -19 offset with a 3.75 backspace. and they have a +13 offset with a 5.01 backspace. which one would tuck? im guessing the -19.
