Check it, I scored some vintage 14x7.5 basket weave wheels. From my best guess they are ET wire mags, aluminum wheels from the early 70's and have a uni five lug bolt pattern and a deep offset, thats a 2.5" back spacing(I think that makes them about -30mm offset). Tires are take offs from my stock e30 bottlecaps, 195/65/14



just test fitment for the front for the moment, this weekend I should find out how well they will clear the rear disc brakes



It changes the overall look of the truck, which is what I like best as a wheel enthusiast



I had to roll the fender a little to get the proper clearance, so far I'm digging the fit.

Really diggin the wheels.

[octobeak]

Thanks guys, I'm gonna try and fit some taller tires on the back so I can get out of the driveway(I already use 2 2x4's!)

the new wheels are more than just perfect...

[Obscevator]

damn good looking truck! the salt flats look the tits! but I have to say the weaves are giving me a good vibe as well!

Very nice. I've wanted to do something like this.

I have to many projects and not enough space, going on so I did a smaller version.

[octobeak]

Thanks for the support fellas, I'll keep at it posting pics

[octobeak]

yup, more wheel pics, put the salt flats on again



I do need to put some lower profile tires on the front however, probably 195/40/17
