the gold center wheels are 15X8 they are someone elses just a clear pic I had. the ones on my car above are 15x8.5 . I have been wishing I had went wider on the back though with a 15x9.25 or 15x9.5 when I bought the body kit from pacific they talked me in to going with the 8.5s they are a little wide in the front and a little narrow in the back. the spare is a 15x7 so I need a rim half to make it work because I had I of the fronts stold. makes you mad, WTF would someone do with 1 wheel with a funny bolt patern !!! 1984se do you got any pics of your wheels?

mantis are they all straight? how wide are they? get a pic and I will help id the wheels there were several brands that looked very much a like. some were one piece ,some 2 piece, only a few were 3 piece. there are quite a few people I have talked with that are looking for parts like halfs or 1 or 2 wheels. to repair or replace bent ones.

you dont find with the pacific body kit that the 14 x 6 wheels are way to small? mine are 8s in front 8.5s in back. and I am probly going to add 1/2 inch spacers in back to bring them out more.

Not at all, it lines up perfect with the fenders. My dad had some old Hoosiers that he ran and those things stuck out about an inch and a half on each side. It looked like one of the mini trucks that are scraping with the 14 wheels stickin' way out the side.
