Hi All,I am having fit issues with the Rock Crawler Series 52 blk. 15x8 with a 2.5" backspace.I also thought 2.5 should clear my calipers, but no luck.I only picked up one wheel so far for my spare and tried it on before mounting tire(33x12.50-15).
I am not sure if i like the 2.5" backspace as it does push the wheel out quite a bit.So I am thinking to return the wheel and get a 3.75" or 3.5"??.Then see how that one fits,and if I have to use the spacers or do some grinding I am ok with it.I think I can grind the rear caliper down to clear as the 1/4" spacers will require me to get longer wheel studs.The front already has longer ones from the old swap I did.
I am running the Monte carlo rears and an old Man-a-fre disc.conversion up front.I have 1/4" spacers I was using up front to clear those wilwood calipers(just one on ea.side).The rears clear no prob.with the old wheels.The old wheels are rusted out chrome with black centers w/round holes,15x8 w-a 4" backspace and I only have 4,so I wanted to replace all with the black 52's from 4WP's.
So yea I found this thread searching so well see if anyone else can chime in with the same kind of wheels or offer any advice.
Thanks,John
