Wheel sizing issues! Please help
On my 1979 Cutlass supreme brougham i ditched the original steels and hubcaps for 14" rally wheels, They came with Brand new BFG's for a really good deal.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM.
I mount them, make it a block and i hear something rub. Get out jack it up and take the wheel off to find that the tie rod end has knocked off my wheel weight.
I have a few mm. between the upper control arm and the rim lip as well as the tie rod when the wheels are turned.
Anyone know if they made 14x8 rallys?
I know the 14 isn't the most popular way to go but like I said,. new BFG tires for less than half the cost new. Rear tires (235/60R14 ) Front 215/60R14
Any ideas?
I was thinking spacers, but it appears I need about an inch and my exposed stud thread is 1 inch?
Rim measures 8 wide with a 4.5 backspace?
