Factory 4.5". When you said "wide five" did you mean bolt pattern or rim width?

bolt pattern 4.5" would be perfect if the back set is correct...can I try them on?

The wide 5 rims should not be hard to find at all, do you want the slotted or smooth.


Smooth....but I've been told bus wheels won't work, wrong offset.


I contacted this guy about his spindles......below is his reply.

I just do bug spindles I don't own a thing to do R&D on and with the
price of used thing spindles being $250 on a good day up to $400 it
would be a bad business decision for me to take that risk I hope you
understand
Thank you for your interest
