I also think you would want 15" x 8" wheels, they also have 3 3/4" back spacing.......

I just checked mine and they are 15 x 8, rally wheels, I suppose that 3 3/4 is stock backspacing ??...Can't get too crazy on the size, spending my wife's money and I went from 300 for tires to about 1K total...don't want to push my luck..

No experience with that seller. I bought my 15x8's from this guy:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...973430311&rd=1

I called him directly to order, not through eBay. Lugs were $1/each and he threw in the valve stems. Shipped them same day I ordered and the wheels were perfect, new-in-the-box.

There have been different experiences and it may very well come down to which calipers you have (I have replacement Delco's on mine), but the 3-3/4 cleared the fronts but just barely rubbed on the rear. I wound up ordering 5/16" wheels spacers and that did the trick.

The stock OEM rally wheels have 4" back spacing, the TT II's have 3 3/4" back spacing....check out the Eagle Alloy wheels that Summit sells. I saw these wheels at a swap meet and put them next to the TTII"S, they are dead ringer, probubly made for Eagle by American Racing, just differant center caps.....
