wheel and tires

will the off set 3.875 fit our car back space

let me reword this as that was my wifes question i found a nice set of 15x8 progessive rims. the backspace is 3.875 . was wondering if they will rub???

I think you want a min of 4in bs...but see if the seller would let you test fit one?

i had no place to check the fitment had to park on the street with 4 ways on uphill in pittsburgh. so will find out in the morning. only paid 300 for the rims with tires. there 235 75 r15 truck tires so got to get mine installed

Post up when you do! You should be fine on the front...but might have to shave a touch off the rear wheelwell lip though.

so heres some pics of them they need polished but are overall in good shape





also stopped at a lil car show at a chick filet will post in other

Sprocket runs 15x8 with 4" BS and occasionally has inner rubbing issues, IIRC.

It also depends on the offset of the wheel.

Looks great and when you mount the rears be sure to let some air out first.Also remember to jack
on the frame and not the suspension and rear axle.Actually you may not have to let any air out
but I always have to with my OCC.Like the design a lot by the way!Progressive is a older design
and were very popular in their day!If I were you I would try mounting these tires first before
paying all that money to mount yours.Tread pattern isnt to aggressive and the white letters will
look great!

I know the 3.75 ones I have here won't work on my ride. Good luck

so they fit no rubbing and look better imho.

took alot of pics to show off the changing colors from shade and sun

before


after

Wagon looks real good guys and the bright sun really makes it pop.You guys sure have done a lot
to your wagon in the short time you had it and it shows!Very very nice looking wagon!

Looks good,...I measured my rims today and they are 8.5 wide that is why mine won't fit under the rear.

Very cool rims Mike and Robyn. Progressive (and Pure, which were "premium" progressives) were huge here in the 90s. Seems like every truck, van, and hot rod that had aftermarket rims had progressives. My dad had a pair of 77 wagons in a row (catalina safari and impala) and he had 15x8 progressive rims on them where the design was like a 3 tooth circular saw blade. They were really cool (still have them...just need a wagon to bolt them to).

Those look good with the other shiny parts on your car. Niiiice

SHINY......GOOD!!!!

8.5" wide rims should fit. The SS wheel is 17x8.5.

Very nice!! Cant wait to see that wagon in person someday!

Axle may be off a bit because one side rubs and the other clears it but not by much at all.

hey my cars passenger rear tire is 1/2 inch away from the fender lip and 1 1/2 inches away from the drivers rear tire ????? i noticed it when cleaning them yesterday. is this a normal thing for these cars?

Our cars are known to be out of line, but that seems pretty extreme.

There is some slop when the body is laid down on the frame on those rubber 'pucks'.
It isn't a precise alignment.
