Post by: truckinwagen on April 07, 2008, 01:26:03 pm: I would be happy to get spacers if I could get a set of wheels for less than $300
everytime a good price comes up the wheels are all bent up.

Post by: truckinwagen on April 07, 2008, 01:46:21 pm: yes indeed it is a pipe tee, everything goes ghetto when you only make $100 a week.

Post by: RabbitJockey on April 07, 2008, 02:05:28 pm: those wheels should be fine, you'd just need bigger tires.

Post by: blkboostedtruck on April 07, 2008, 02:10:34 pm: well trukinwagen! i don't consider it ghetto! i call it inovation!!!
I also have a lifted rabbit and you use what ever works!
but never mind about those honda rims go find dodge 4lug rims they will work! and are easyly obtainable!
P.S. go back to your profile and add your location in there! it will help others point you in the area for parts that you may be looking for in the future!
thanks Duane

Post by: truckinwagen on April 07, 2008, 02:11:57 pm: I have been having a hard time finding bigger tires to fit my 13's
that and the market for good used tires for 14 or 15 wheels is huge and cheap.

Post by: blkboostedtruck on April 07, 2008, 02:23:45 pm: you wont find any bigger in 13' that why i suggest dodge caravan they have a good offset and come in 14' rims! early 80's van that had a 4 banger in it!
