Well, as some of you know I have a 82 LUV, but i'm getting new rims for it so I need to know what offset i need, i'm eyeballin' some unique wheel 96-seires. And do I need a special backside setting? And the lug spacing is 6-5.5" right? or is it 6-4.5"????

i have a 79 and yes it is 6 on 5 1/2 but i ordered 15x7 with a -9 offset and they look pretty good. it all depends if you going to lower it or keep it factory height. Im running 225/50's all around planning on dropping it 3" all aound but i wouldnt go with anything over -9 backspacing

Is there a way to special order shocks for the front too? since if I lower the front the shocks'll bottom out b4 the suspension actuallly does.

you really shouldnt have a problem if the biggest your going is 2" but if you think you need them, once you get the front lowered to where you wont it with the torsion bars measure the whole shock as it sits. The auto parts store shop be able to match some up for you with your measurement.
