Ford Wheels?
« on: January 01, 2009, 03:34:19 PM »
I've read that some Ford wheels will fit Tracker/Vitara's.  I'm looking for a second hand set of wheels that are spaced out .5-1 inch more than stock, preferably one's that look good.  Does anyone know what Make, Model, and year I should be looking for?  I have a 02 Tracker.
Thanks.

 1995 and older will fit Suzuki. 1996 and new switched to metric...I found that out the hard way.
older bronco, f-150 etc etc should fit.

Hey Lance, I actually bought those rims off some guy around a year and a half ago. The offset was real nice but man did they shake on the freeway because of that plasma cut job.
I DO NOT recommend these wheels to anyone using their truck as a daily driver. I also think that it depends which truck it is off of though because I have heard of alot of other people running Ford Bronco and F-150 rims on their Sidekicks. Make sure it fits!

i would try the bent rim being the cause ;), the center hole doesnt center the rim on the hub, the taperd lug nuts do

we never had an issue with them, smoothe as silk

Hmm I never noticed any bent rims when I balanced them...weird. Don't worry, I bought some CJ rims and they were bent too. Now I'm buying some NEW rims so I won't have to worry about that anymore!

I have a set of plain steel 15" Ford truck rims that fit and I' pretty sure the center is big enough also. I got them to run on the Sport but 15's won't fit. I'm in IL if anyone wants them.

candace blew a tire out while coming down an obsticle and bent one of the rims in the prosses.
