Need some help on rims and tires????
I want the dick cepeck dc-1 chrome polished rims
With dick cepeck mud country 35x12.50r17 tires
With a 3inch body Lift and I want them to stick out a bit so I was going to go with like 4.5 inch back spacing
will this setup work???
Here is a pic of what the kind of look like not the specs just to give you idea http://www.pdkwheels.com/pdk_wheel_p...epek_tires.htm

I have the Cepek FCIIs on Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels, wheels are same specs as the DC wheels (cepek and MT are the same company)
Just be advised, I am almost sure that tires sticking out from under the wheel well are illegal in PA. Now whether they enforce it or not I dunno, but you may find you'll have to get fender flares to keep smokey from writing you up...

Same 4.5" backspacing as the DC-1s. These wheels come out of the same factory...
and the reason I cautioned about the tires sticking out is because my cousin who lives in western NY was dating a girl in PA and got popped on I84 for his tires sticking out too far. He has Firestone Destination ATs on the same wheel I have, so he's sticking out about 2" as my tires are. This was maybe 3-4 years ago...

Yeah, sales on chrome rims in general are all down. Kiddie craze now is black. I believe they still make the polished aluminum ones though. Their black/silver ones at one point recently were the single most widely sold aftermarket wheel in the country. I see a Jeep a day with those.
I was in someplace just after x-mas had the chrome ones on the floor in 18" discounted heavily, like 50% off. I'm thinking it was a local 4 Wheel Parts.
The Crager Soft 8s are a nice wheel in chrome and are on the cheap. I think Summit had a deal for not much over $100 a piece with fixed shipping of like $20 a set. Backspacing and offset specs are right around the same as the Mickey Thompson and Cepek wheels...
