Found a set of inexpensive 17" take offs. Just wondering if anyone is running 17s and if there are any issues and what tire sizes you're running?

Many of us use 17s. Stock 94-96 Impala SS wheels are very popular. Some tire sizes that are used: 235 55 17, 225 60 17, 255 50 17, 255 55 17.

What are your "take offs" off of?

They came off a jeep. Let me do some high tech redneck tricks and I'll post a picture.

the guy at the little wheel shop measured them and we think they will fit. He said we could try one out.

If the pattern is 5X5 they will fit the bolts. I can never remember on backspacing but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Also, moving to Wheels and Tires section. Wink

They're going to rub. 5x127 jeeps have a pretty high offset, so you'll need spacers to run them.

Do you know how wide those wheels are?

I am running a set of Imp wheels on the White Elephant. I have 235/65/17s They are a little larger than stock, but my speedo was running fast, and these make the speedo almost perfect. I have a 2.73 with a white driven gear on the VSS. The tires look massive on the car. No clearance problems

Jeep wheels need adapters as Sting mentioned to offset their offset Suspect

Thanks for all the constructive input! I decided to pass on those wheels. Everything happens for a reason though. Shortly after I saw those I had a couple of unexpected expenses that cost me most of the money I had set aside for wheels and tires. Back to saving! Nothing wrong with what is on it for now.

Thanks again for all the constructive replies!

Oh and of course today I get an e-mail from a craigslist ad I had asked about a week ago. He had them listed with some tires but only one center cap for $350 and he said make an offer!! Aint that the way it happens all the time!? Good deals come when you're the most broke!
