New Wheels

I'm in the market for aftermarket wheels and want to make sure I've all the info I need before ordering.

Trackers have:

1) 5 lug 5.5 inch bolt pattern
2) 108mm center bore
3) What about backspacing?
4) Make sure the calipers aren't touching

And the real big question is, will the following wheels fit?

American Racing Equipment AR-767 Wheels

They seem to meet the criteria. And are not to bad on the wallet too.

1) correct 5x5.5" -or- 5x139.5mm
2) I think that's right, the bore I don't think is the main concern. The biggest issue is if the wheel/cap will clear the hub. 4x4?
3) 4.5" for backspacing
4) the tire shop should make every effort with the vendor to make sure they'll fit. The dealer will do a test fit once the the wheels come in to make sure they will work. If not you shouldn't be charged for anything.

You can actually go up to a 20" wheel
Here's my 99 4x4 with American Racing 770 (Teron) wheels with Hankook Ventus Sport K104 (245/35/ZR20):



The other concern you have is the size of the tire. Are you looking at going larger with the wheel or keeping a stock size? If you go larger you will probably want to find a goor tire that matches the OD (outside diameter) of the OEM tire (26.7"). I reccommend the Hankook's as they have been a damn good tire and in my size aren't priced too bad (249.99 each). They are also .25" smaller in circumference than the OEM tire so I'm only losing 4" every mile, therefore the odo/speedo do not need to be adjusted. I got my wheels for 233.50 each w/caps so in a smaller size they should be easy on the pocket.

Spend some time looking for several wheels you like and go down to your local shop (I use America's Tire Co. as they busted their ass for me) and see if they can get them and they will call the vendors to see if that wheel is available in teh bolt pattern/offset.
