Rims?? and a good fit??

Lunatic · 06-15-2005, 11:53 AM

Ok here is my problem. I got the 6" fabtech lift installed. I had 18" rims ( Helo Max) then i had 325/65/18 Toyo A/T put on. They fit, But they fit a little to tight for my liking on the Inside, with that big *** arm that fabtech put there. SO i go looking for new rims with a 15mm back spacing ( current is 18mm)
I want the New Victors from American racing.
They tell me that AR doesnt make them in my backspacing, that there is no middle of the road specs for AR (backspacing wise) its either 18mm or, they called it Reversed?? not sure what that is. Anyway its just hard to believe im haivng this hard of a time finding these rims.

Has anyone put these on your titan and please give a Tire size I would like to stick with the 325's if i can.
The only other option i have is to find a rim (which i have) that meets the specs i need and have it powder coated to the same black as the Victor.
but thats $400 bucks more

Oh well sorry for rambling, and i will apologize now for the run on sentences hehe

Use the money to buy the coilovers from PRG and raise the front another 2" with them. Should give you the clearance you need. I have the Fabtech 6" and left my leveling kit on, I have the 325/65/18's Nitto's. I think that would be better then buying new rims!!!IMHO

See the real problem is i want to get rid of my rims i have now. They are polished and i cant for the life of me keep them clean.

And the other reason is, i really like the black look, atleast for part of the wheel. Especially the Victors

I did talk to another wheel place and they said i could get the Victors and use a 1/2" spacer and it would work. Im not sure i like the idea of a spacer i have heard bad things about them.

thanks for the input

The link you posted show the Victors having -19mm offset and 4-1/2" backspacing. Where are they getting their numbers?

Im still trying to process all the numbers and learn what numbers are what. but they told me this. That all numbers on wheels are going to metric and they gave me the backspacing in mm not inches. So i need a 15mm backspacing. I currently have a 18mm, the Teflon ones are a 19mm. This is what i was told.
Now if they got backspacing and offset turned around im not sure BUT the fact of the matter is that the wheels i have now are too close to the Big metal arm on that fabech lift. ( dont know what its called) and i need to push the wheel out about half an inch or so. Right now the tires dont hit but they are Very close probably around 1/16-1/8 from it and with tire flex it will rub slightly.

SO im wanting to get the teflons and put a .5 inch spacer to give me the room i need. Because all the wheels that were shown to me i did not like the style. I will have to get longer lug bolts also.
