yup, they are American Racing Outlaw IIs and they need a 3/8 inch spacer to fit over the front calipers. You could bypass the spacer method and grind the calipers. I used longer studs and a longer shank lugnut. The backspacing on those wheels should be 3-1/2 inches.

On the rear, they bolt right on with no problems.

I only need them for the rear... (I only need those rims for my drag radials - for racing only)... I think that I will buy those rims... - Thanks
