    Front wheels

    Hey guys, I had some on order, but canceled those, found some better ones.

    I have the Alumnastar 2.0's on the rear, unfortunately, there is no 5x5 bolt pattern for the front, just for the small trucks/cars.
    So, the closest 5x5 wheel I can get from Weld is the RT-S, S71 series, with a polished center. I like it, it matches close enough, so I'm going with this one.

    My trucks current stance is just fine, so I wanna stay with the overall height the stock rim and kuhmo tire provides.
    The overall height of the wheel/tire combo: 24.75"
    I'd like to keep under a 25" overall height combo.

    Here's the link to the wheel I'm getting:
    http://weldracing.com/street-perform...15-in-s71.html

    I'm actually thinking of getting the center of the Alumnastars coated black as well.

    SO, what backspacing/offset do I need to get?
    What rim width?

    I don't want an extremely skinny wheel up front, but I do want something a lot narrower than the stock rim.
    I think the stock rim is a 7 or 8", not sure, so maybe a 4 to 5 inch wheel??

    If you have seen something that works well, please post, I'd rather go with a proven wheel/tire setup instead of guessing.
    If you have pics, please post.

    thanks in advance,
    allen

    4.5" with some 5ish inch tires, those wheels are going to look killer with the rear set up you already have, can't wait.
