wheel delima

I have a 06 with stock wheels and I want my wheels to come out almost even with the stock fender flares. So here are my questions.

what is the stock back spacing?

I think I would want a 4 or 3.75 back space is theis about right?

oh yeah I already have tires so there is no switching to 15's

spidertrax cost about 125 a pair so 250 total

but I think I could get some black steelies for close to the same price.

I have been looking at wheels and it seems that quadratec has the lowest prices, where have you guys found the best deal on steelies?

thanks
Josh

Stock Wheels are 5.5" BS. I run 4" BS. You may have a little more fender rub with 3.75" BS. Especially as your Daystar starts to sag in a year or 2. I found the best price on wheels when i got mine at SummitRacing.com. Sometimes your local Discount Tire will meet or beat online price for their version of the Cragar Soft 8 or Black D's.

what is the factory wheel width. I can get soft 8's delivered for less than 260$. what width do most people go with.

thanks

7" is stock. Most stay with 7". They are good for up to about a 12" wide tire.

I've got 8 inches wide and wish I went with 7 to begin with :2cents:
