    I had been hunting for some skinny front tires for quite a while (they are on backorder everywhere, and I wasn't going to pay $150 each for some Mickey Thompsons), and I finally found someone on Ebay selling some. The front set is 15 x 3.5" wheel, 165/80R15 tire. The rear is 15 x 8" wheel, 5.5" backspacing, 275/50R15. This picture was taken with the original SVO rear end still on, so when I do the 8.8 swap, the rear wheels will be pulled in a little more. I stuck them on just to see how they looked (I was going to wait until the 8.8 went under there), but they look sooo much better than the stock wheels, I left them on. BTW, STFU about my driveway being assimilated by my lawn.

    doing an 8.8 swap inst going to move in. 7.5 & 8.8 have the same width... unless you put 5 lug drum brakes with axles OR do a "bracket flip" which still calls for 2 Ranger driverside axles.

    ps... heres how much deeper a stock SVO sits in with a bracket flip

        I'm aware of this, and thanks for the pic. Now I know I really won't want to run my stock wheels!

          Does that mean with your set up it would be easier to run a 17X9 out back?
