What rims?

[svofloyd]

What rims do you all guys run? Size, backspacing and any other info might be helpful, plus what rims do you all like on the svo? Pictures say a thousand words.

Just posting to see what everyone else is running, see how they like it, if they had any problems, and to hopefully get some pics. I am thinking of maybe going to a bigger rim, with less sidewall, but i don't know just yet. Want to see some pics of everyones ride w/aftermarket rims! XD.

I saw the simmons rims posted a while back, and they looked nice. too bad they are discontinued.

Hey James


I ran my 85 1/2 comp prep with 98 cobra wheels....LOVED 'em , the look and function ... in order to put them on stock svo front suspension you'll have to open the center up a bit to fit em over the bearing and run it with no center cap...or, if youre running sn-95 stuff they go right on, cap and all

Ah. I have read about the ever burdensom front bearing. I have also heard that most rims will need 'minor persuasion', with minor sometimes being slightly understated, for fitting rims on the svo.

94/95 Tri-bars. 225/45 IIRC. NO issues.

I'm running 17x8" '96-'97 Cobra wheels, they have about 6" of back spacing and 235/45 tires. I had a problem with rubbing in the rear, but rolling the lip fixed it.

[svofloyd]

rolling the lip = evil. also, where is asbury in relation to say sedalia, or columbia? the way things are going, i need someone to come redo the car for me *sigh*

Whats the word on the bullit rims from 05+'s? I heard they would just bolt up, that right?

Yep, the 05+'s bullit rims will bolt right up. The only minor problem is that the center cap needs to be ground down on the inside to make them fit when on the car or you could run them without center caps on the rims (front only). Do a search and you will find the answers that you seek. Jason

Sometimes it's a necessary evil to roll the lip. I'm in SW Missouri, just north of Joplin. These cars can be a bit of a bear, I've had mine for 2.5 years and I'm still fighting it...

[svofloyd]

north of joplin... man, I am in sweet springs. I think i am like an hr away from you, maybe 90 minutes. Perhaps when i get the 9w running, we have to get em together? Mine looks very neglected, but hopefully she runs well.
