    Help with Some wheels for the track!!!!

    Hey guys,

    I need your help. I am running some American Racing Baja's they are 16x10 with a -24 offset and 4 1/2 backspacing. They look good off the truck and track up good with the M&H racemaster tires i have for them, but they look dumb installed on the truck because they stick out of the rear fenders too much. Anybody have any suggestions on a 16x10 wheel that will tuck under a little better.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Not me. I just call mine bogarts. They are M/T wheels 16 x 12 8 lug and they are only 24 lbs. I think Bogarts get down to 15 lbs?
    JJ has the real Bogarts.

    Get something forged. No cast wheels on performance usage plus forged wheels are so much lighter because they're thinner.

    Oh yea they stick out. I think they are 4.75 back spacing. Yes they make a six lug. I think a 16 x 10 will fit slightly over the fenderm but not much.
