what size tires are those? i'm looking to find some that will match the hieght of my 295/50R15's but no a 15x6 wheel.
A couple posts up, I called out the tire size of these 20" and the size that are on my 15" wheels. The 20s are 255/45r20 and are about 29" tall.

Also, you can check out a Tire Size Calculator....I like to use this link : http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
(I know it says Miata, but I like that it kinda gives you a visual). You can Google another one if the link doesn't work.

The calc says your tires are about 26 1/2" tall...

Hey aramil,
I saw your private msg, and I'm sorry to get back to you so late.... haven't been on alot lately.

That sounds like a sweet deal. I paid $100 for mine and they were already painted gloss black. The front fit right on directly with no problems. The rear had an issue with the axle seeming kinda narrow. The inside lip of the rim was barely rubbing the inner wheel well in the bed. I went with 2" adapters, but I probably could've been just as happy with 1 1/2". But I wanted to make sure I pushed them out enough to look somewhat in-line with the front wheels.

Hope this helps .... and good luck to you! Show pics when you can!!!! :thup: 8) :D

Oh wow... that sounds weird what he did....

Well that's cool. Good luck with your search. I know you can usually find them on Ebay, but the bad side is that they are usually sold single and can be pricey .... like $50 per wheel ... :doh:

these were in a junk yard that my friends family owns. they get alot of bumps and dents but they are usually trashed when they come in because its not a salvage yard.

What's your front end and what is your rear end not stock right how much did you drop. Looks really good like those rims a lot wondering if they would fit mine. I have 2 different bot patterns plus rear end wider than the stock 1967 that was on mine. It's now a 2004 F150 super duty rear end dropped about 3 or 4 and front end 2003 crown Vic not dropped. Would like to go with your set up. What are those tires also. Thanks awesome build.
