The pattern is the same but the centerbore is smaller. I have them on my 70 Blazer but I had to bore them out. I also need to get some spacers for the rear, I'm not happy with the backspacing...

romarti0825 · 03-17-2009, 07:15 PM

What is a good offset for when I get some new rims?

**raggedjim** · 03-18-2009, 10:02 AM

It depends on the width of the wheels. An 8 inch looks fine with 4.5 all around. Some people like less backspace on the rear to get closer to the wheel well. Look for backspacing threads with search, this is a popular topic.

Good luck, Rg

Thanks for the heads up.

romarti0825 · 05-15-2009, 03:31 PM

Thanks. It's been a long and winding road to get where it is now. There is still more to come hopefully in the next few months.

My Uncle aka "C/10 King" hooked me up with those rims. Not sure what kind they are. He comes across them every once in awhile. He might have some he's on this site.

The rims are known as Ansens, U.S.Mags, or Slots. They can be found at swap meets, or Craigslist, From about $80.00-$300.00 depending on the condition, I never really liked them,until I saw them polished,Then it was love at 2nd site. Now I use them all time....
