    any ideas on wheels?

     



    im having a hard time finding narrow steel wheels for dodge/caprice..
    my front wheels rub the fenders when i turn the wheels.. right now it has the stock steel 15x7 bolt 5x5 backspacing is 3.75.. i dont want to go to narrow of a wheel and i cant change backspacing unless because the stockers almost touch the tie rods.. im not sure what to do..

    thanks

    Hmmmm, have you considered cutting the fenders out and constructing some glass fender flares?

    yeah i have thought about that, i dont think i can and make the truck look right. i dont plan on doing much body work to it either.. i think the only thing i can do is get narrower wheels.. but i cant find any that dont cost a arm and a leg.. everything that i have found on ebay are the wrong bolt.. i didnt know if some one made steel wheels that you could just kind of pick the width and back spacing..

    thank you,
