    I've heard that late model Jeep wheels will fit also, but I've never tried.



    I've thought about those too.  The only ones thay I liked were the older ones that looked like the 5 hole Centerline wheels from the 80's.  Some of those rims have oxidizing issues.

    But a great idea!  :thumbsup:

    I'm still wondering if Infinity G35 Coupe wheels will work.  They have the correct bolt pattern, not sure about the hub or back spacing though.....  ???

    Backspacing can be an issue. With mine, they were 5" backpsace, which caused interference with the upper ball joint and the rear section of the leaf spring. a 1/4" spacer solved that issue.
