petespath Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I can't find any 16" x 7 steelies , approx 5.5 back space give or take an inch. Can you advise a store that I should try or a website that I could show the store that these rims actually exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverPath Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Summit Racing, Jegs, etc have 16x7 Cragar soft 8s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petespath Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 I checked their website (crager) the back space is 4... will that make the tire stick out too far and cause rubbing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I don't think you should have any issues. 4" backspacing is neutral. That is what I am going to run on my 95 and clearance (with the spare) seems good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSlowReliable Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Given that r50s have struts, isn't backspacing a little more important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentLamb Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I run a set of Crager 16x7 rims on my 2004 Pathy and the 4" backspace works great. My tires stick out a bit more than stock (about 1.5") but i was able to put on 31" tires and clear the strut and don't have any rubbing issues.

petespath Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 so this is what I think I should get: crager soft 8, part # 260-3977760, 16x7, 6 x 5.5, rear spacing 4" jegs price $66.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Why not go up to 16x8? What size tires do you plan to put on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom01Pathfinder Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) i got 16x8 from 4wheelparts.com with -3.75bs and i only rub slightly in reverse full-lock right and left...even tho they took 7 weeks to get...it was worth it. and only cost me $300. I personally like how they stick out a little more then stock...it looks more .... i agree with xplorx4...get 16x8 Edited August 29, 2011 by Phantom01Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GApathfinder Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I tried out the fitment on 31's with 15" steel (not sure of the spacing) on a stock lift, but they rubbed pretty bad. Say if I kept the rims I have on mine right now (look at my sig picture) would i need any spacers for 31's? If so, what size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
