  Be careful about using factory wheels. The center hub on the trackick is larger than any other factory wheel that I am aware of. I have used factory wheels before but I had to have the centers machined out. The cost of getting factory wheels and then having them machined will probabally outweigh the cost of some nice aftermarket ones.

 You may be able to find some used aftermarket off something else.

Some 5 on 5.5s Off the top of my head Jeep CJ and Ford E-F 150 series 98 or so and older Dodge 1/2 ton, and IH scouts

One point to rememeber is measure the
center, we need 4.25" or 105mm  Many
aftermarket wheels came with this size
center hole.

I have found wheels at teh wrecking yard,
but they want like $25 ea  :P  I can buy new
RockCrawlers and in the size and back space
I want them in for less than $40

Where can I buy new  Rockcrawlers for $40?  More like $65 around here...

I would be fine with that.. I was wanting aluminum wheels, but the cost is nutz and the look isn't right for a trail rig (IMO) I want plain black wheels, but would prefer them to be lighter.


I was asking about the list of vehicles that used the same pattern, so I would know if I could trade some friends out of used aftermarket wheels.. I will keep the center hole size in mind.. thanks for the tips.

Besides looking out for the bolt pattern, the backspacing is just as important.
I had a nice set of alloy wheels for a Sidekick, that I thought would fit my Samurai.
Turns out the offset was completly wrong for the Samurai.  I would have needed at least a 2" spacer.

Yep,  backspace is everything...  :D



Here is a little chart I put together..

This is NOT meant that all these wheels will fit.. but if you see a junker with some aftermarket wheels on one of these vehicles, you MIGHT have something you can use...


anyways, here is the chart, I just made it up for future reference..
