I have tried to read up on all the stuff that dictates whether or not these will fit my truck, but I am just not confident enough in my understanding of offset and backspace and all that to order these with out a second opinion.



So can those of you who know tell me whether or not these will fit with out rubbing. I have 265-75-16 tires and a mild TT and shackle lift. Also, what do you think of the wheels.



I am just looking for some cheap steel wheels and I like these because they are different from the soft-8's that everyone gets. I want them in black and the auction says they are even though the picture is gray.
 
You could try phoning Summit and ask them if their computer says if they are compatible with your ST. I tried some steel wheels I had in my garage and when I snugged them up and they wouldnt turn because of rubbing against the brake caliper, so if I wanted to use them I would need wheel spacers. The Summit cataloguge that I have says that they have wheel specialists.:banana: Whatever that means?:cry:
 
From my calculations against the stock offset. They should fit. They may be alittle to the outside, which is good. With your lift. I cant forsee any rubbing.
 
Preciate the help guys. Plan is to get them and put them on with my 265-75-16 tires until they wear out, then do the body lift and get 285's. Then I will probably lower my torsion twist a little because im starting to want more of the stock ride back. I probably should do the sway bar stuff too

Offset is good, I used a 4" back space and you can use 15" wheel on first generation STs.
