Re: [paging] QuickVet (GrandSportC3)
they are weld draglight wheels. They are 15" X 5". and i think the backspacing is 4.5" but i would have to double check that. Getting them on was not easy. I had to grind the calipers, change the wheel studs and use a big spacer then buy special expensive lug nuts. They handle ok and they took about 50 pounds off the front of the car. Combined with my 90/10 front shocks you could say my car is not able to turn for, well you know. :D Now if i could just get a pair to match the back :) That will happen next year i suppose :chevy

Re: [paging] QuickVet (QuickVet)
I found those at JEGS...
Part number
927-90-54340
Dimension
15 x 3.5 *
Backspacing
1.75"; 4.5"-4.75"
Price
$109.99 each...
I wonder if 4.75 would be enough.... :confused:
The only one with 5" backspacing was this one:
Part number
927-90-55416
Dimensions
15 x 5;
Backspacing
3.5"; 5"
Price
$143.99
This one might fit but it's a little pricey...
