Theyre the gloss black Unique series 42.. 15x8 but it doesnt say anything about backspacing. theres a few of these with different model #s..

 

im looking to put on 31x10.5x15. can someone direct me to one that will fit?

 

also, for anyone looking for wheels, this weekend america's tire has a $100 visa rebate if you buy 4 wheels so im looking to buy 4 of these for less than $200.

Do you have a lift? Do you plan to run tires >31" in the future? In the long run, if you will do further mods, it's better to go with these:

 

15 X8 6-139.70 -13 BKGLRS

 

The difference between the two wheels is the offset (+6mm or -13mm). A +6mm offset will result in too much backspacing, and bring the tire too close to the strut, causing rubbing if you want to get bigger tires. The -13mm offset wheel will give you enough clearance to later put on 32x11.50R15 tires if you want.

 

Note, however, that the -13mm offset will increase the track width of the vehicle, and cause your tires to stick out beyond the fenders. I ran 31's on similar wheels for many years, and I thought the wider track gave my Pathy a "tougher" looking appearance.

 

If you don't have a lift, you may experience some minor rubbing on the front plastic inner fender liners during turns. A heat gun can solve that pretty easily.

I am planning on getting a set of Pro Comp series 51 wheels. They are 15x8 and they have a backspacing of 3.75 in". I am just making sure these will work. By the way I do not have a lift.

I don't want to give away a well kept secret, but anyone looking for black steel 15x8 with 3.75bs, these really can't be be beat. You can get a set of 4 for under $160 or 5 under $200, with free shipping!

Now go easy fellas, I haven't ordered mine just yet, they better not be out of stock or backordered next month! :)

 

Edit: interesting that these and the procomp have similar part #...
