My car is a 89 with stock 15 in steel wheels. Are you running 16" stock wheels on all three of your cars, with no spacers? I have been told before that the 16" wheels need a spacer.

Dark brown door panels, carpet, steering wheel, trim parts from a 87 Mer GM. Power front buckets from 96 Jeep Cherokee. LED'S front & rear. 3G Alt from a 97 Taurus wagon 3.0. Electric fan. Rear axle from a 97 PI 3.27 with disk brakes. Headlight relays. -
'03-up 16s use FWDish backspacing and will want spacers. '98-02s use normal backspacing and do not. '98-'02 wheels also look better, making it an easy choice.
Does it help if I say it yet again?
'98-02 wheels fit fine on Boxes and don't require spacers.
There, hope that helped.
Though I'd still thought it was already in the stickies ...

You're the one who tried those 17" late-model Mopar wheels, aren't you? IIRC, those fit decently and looked good.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Actually, I was looking at that and another box from the rear, and it looks like those wheels are actually just a tad more inset, but no clearance issues, at least with the tire sizes Ive tried so far: 225/50 and 245/50 front, 255/55, 215/65, and 245/50 rearOriginally posted by 1987cp View Post
There's only so many becuase I ride on 4+/32 tread tires that customers throw away, lol... except I have a new pair on the front of the 85, and a pair of new-ish snow tires i put on whatever I drive in the snow.Last edited by 85crownHPP; 04-04-2011, 09:00 PM.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements
