Default anyone with Skinny front wheels or new 15" wheels....

i have to return the wheels i have because they hit the calipers on the front. what size do you have and what company are they from? i want to get some skinnies on the front but i cant find any that will fit. so i may jsut have to get some nice new polished or chrome aluminum 15X8s. any ideas? thanks, aaron
at least i can still save some weight by getting aluminum ones :smash:

Default What kind?

I run 15X3.5 Welds sometimes. They take a little grinding and a little spacer to get them to fit.

Bill what brand are the 15x4s? Do they clear the brake calipers?
