Check the backspacing before you buy. SJs are 95mm, Track/Kicks are probably 110mm (my Vit is). Divide by 25.4 for inches.

Check locally on price of the same wheels. You can get those rims NEW for $28 in Tennessee. A little more but no shipping and not spray can painted. Wont the salt up there eat the spray paint off?

That's what I was thinking too. Sometimes you can get new ones around here for about $25.00 each.

on my stock standard escudo I have factory 15x7 alloys with 215/75 Hankook A/Ts im not sure what the backspacing is but appears to be minimal. As for the rim width i have had no troubles .when i bought it , it had 195/70 L/Ts on the rims so I guess whatever tire you are running on standard rims will be fine on 15x7 rims.
BTW anyone thinking of using shiny alloys for offroad dont. On mine the valve stem sticks out the side, Rocks in far away places love to smash them.

It turns out that I am not going to bid on these rims afterall.  I spoke to my mechanic, who does a lot of work with Trackicks and 4x4s in general, and he said he would well me a set of stock rims for a reasonable price.

If you any of you guys want those rims on ebay, you should bid on them, for the auction is ending soon.
