Hey folks, what's a stock wheel from something that i can put on an 80 4x4? Previous owner put some 15inch wheels on and backspacing is all wrong...the fronts stick out too far and I just don't like 'em. Are there certain years of troopers or rodeo's or whatever that will bolt right on and be right for spacing?

I put some Jeep wagoneer 15" alu. wheels on mine and I think they look okay and they fit great.

I have a bid in on a set of those same wheels. Hopefully they fit on the front of the 4x4 :). Previous owner put on some chevy truck wheels and had to grind out the center hole to get over the lockers.

I'm not sure about fitting 30/9.5-15 though...current 15's on it are 205/70-15 and not lots of spare room, I'm thinkin a 30 would hit fender bigtime.

Anyone running that size on a 80 4x4 with no body lift and 2" torsion crank?


On a totally unrelated note, air ride suspension is dying on my hummer so it looks like the hummer will be gettin the dollars for a bit :).
