Nomad wheels (2 Viewers)

Anyone run nomad wheels without spacers? I am thinking a BS 4.0” might work. Thanks

I hope someone may report back differently, but when I talked to the techs at Nomad they told me all their wheels would require spacers for a 70 series.

Thanks. My current steelies have a 4.5” BS. I think they are from a 100 series. I have 1/4” spacers. So was just guessing a 4” BS might work.

They are not 100-series unless they are five lug.

Thanks. I thought they were 80 series but was told they were 100 series

I put Nomads on my 73 without spacers with no problem. They are 15 inch wheels and -10 offset.

Would like to stay with a 16” rim

I don’t think it would make a difference in fitment.

How wide?

 

[Fishbulb]

7 inches.

 

[jblueridge]

Their 16" offerings are 8" wide but same offset.
I think means the backspace is 1/2" more than the 15x7.

My 77 came with Nomad's on it and they fit without issue other than lug nut issues.

If I recall correctly the set I have are 16" and have a -10 back space?

The lugs on the LC are not particularly long, they are fine for steelies but with the Nomad's there was only 3 threads of enguagement on the nuts......not a safe situation.....

You should be good to go with ET lug nuts (extended thread) but I havent tried yet

Got a picture?

Nomad 16x8 shows -10 offset 4.11BS for the convoy. Don’t know if that will clear on the front

Got a picture?

Of what specifically?

 

[jblueridge]

4"of backspace was too much for my BJ74.

That’s what I’m worried about

Back side of the front wheel showing the tie rod ends clearance

cruiserdan taught me a good bit about wheel measurements.
A junkyard wheel confirmed that 4" was no go.

No

Edit: Not trying to be a wise ass....I just dont have photos of it.

It cleared everything but I wanted them off the vehicle due to immanent thread enguagement disaster
