I didn't suggest anything. The point of the thread is to figure this stuff out.You are suggesting FWD rims that require spacers up to 2 inch in width.
How does this make them cheap?
In many places it is not legal to use spacers for on road use.
Fair point.Back to the original post. One would have to really like the durango wheels to want to pay for a quality solution to their 56mm offset.
Most rims went "deep dish" a long time ago.
Can the track width be addressed by using different control arms, or knuckles, or anything like that?
Yeah, at that point it stops being practical compared to other options.Yes but that is another big fab project. It would be with the control arms but then you are modifying a whole lot of **** probably.
None of these are frequent occurrences.State or provincial inspections.
Insurance inspections.
Insurance contracts.
Where I am both the insurance inspection form and the insurance contract ask: Has the vehicle been modified for speed or performance. Everyone should check their policies for this as lawyers may define your modifications differently than you do.
The other investigative route is after a accident. A bicyclist went through a red light and hit a friends stock truck. They impounded the truck to check it for "deficiencies". (none found and totally irrelevant)
A insurance lawyer may go after modifications to shift blame or draw out or deny claims.
What I meant was it's not frequent for wheel spacers to be inspected in any of those instances. It would have to be physically obvious.What? State inspections happen once a year every year. Same with insurance contracts, albeit everyone lies let's be real here. Even Karen with a 50% window tint she got on her front side windows lies about her car being unmodified.
Now insurance inspections those are pretty rare.
They probably just want to know what the spacers are made out of...Wonder what California has to say about spacers, since they are so anal about modifications on vehicles.
Oh, it's one of the only good things about living in Illinois. No inspections or emissions, even on new cars.The eastern states beg to differ on that inspection thing. I know people that have not passed inspections because of rust. They do not jack around when it comes to inspection time.
Illinois and their lack of inspections. Boy am I jealous!
Finding SS rims at the junkyard in 2023 is about as likely as spotting Elvis or 2pac.There aren't likely to be an wheels better suited to these cars than the factory Impala rims.
Are you even reading the posts that you're replying to?What "cheap junkyard wheels" even fit our cars? Mostly late model 2WD GM trucks ,and other B-bodies. Most are going to only be 7" widths. Kinda hard to get exited about ,huh....
Summit/Jeg's sell new steel wheels quite reasonably in 8-10 inch width ,and 15-17" diameters.
"Deep dish" refers to rims with a negative offset that have a big lip on the face side of the wheel.Most rims went "deep dish" a long time ago.
Well, the SRT Cherokee rims are listed as 33-37mm offset.Once spacers around an inch are called for. Then adapters become practical ,and one is no longer limited to 5x5 bolt circle(s). Durango/Cherokee rims are not that impressive in my opinion. Especially comparing to late model Camaro/Corvette rims which aren't likely to end up in salvage yards. Rims over eight inches wide are going to be slim pickings also. Not to mention ten inch widths that most of these wider tires should be mounted on at minimum.
Haha, that's funny you bring this up... I have been pondering putting some oversized police wheels on my Tahoe PPV.Im a fan of the steele rim and really liked Livin1’s setup using the dodge ram Steele spare rim, but of course as noted in his thread he used adapters.
