Default 94 Sawblades on an 84? Do they fit?

Anyone have any pics on Sawblades on an 84? Looking at getting rid of my 94 sawblades and my brother putting them on his 84. Do they fit?

They'll fit, a friend has them on an '86. Most use a 3/4" spacer to get them just right.

i guess they'll fit on w/o the spacer...but not like they should be, spacers are $50 each from a company like Mid-America.

I have sawblades on my 86 without spacers and no problems. My tires are 275s and they don't stick out or rub.

Mine aren`t sawblades, but here`s a picture of my `87 with `96 CE wheels without spacers. I think they look fine. No problems at all.

Default sawblades & spacers

Without spacers, front tires will rub against the frame when turned completely in.

Also, tires will be about 3/4" inside of lip. Use either 3/4" or 1" spacers to make it look right.

I felt that the feel of the steering was better ( more crisp ) after I installed 1" spacers on all 4 wheels after running 2 months without the spacers.

Thanks for the replies.. Doesnt look like my brother wants them. He doesnt want to spend 200 on spacers. Which sucks for me cause I want new wheels but need to get rid of these at the same time.
