Are there any lite weight rims that do not need long studs? This is for the front, got a 911 call typing the first part and had to run. TIA Mike

I never measured them but they are either 15X3.5 or 15X4, with a centered back space. For the tire they are 27"s tall dont know the brand just got whatever fit for a DOT tire. My buddy owned the tire shop so 30$s for 2 brand new tires.:hurray:

5 x 4 3/4"....should be it, they will also come with a mopar bolt pattern as you can see on my set they have two sets of holes. But check out that number i gave you pretty sure thats it though.

Try centerline Warrior wheels they are narrower at the hub. I have a set with DS-2's mounted on them if you want to try them. They are 25" tall.

Hey Mike,
These are the skinny version of the wheels I'm running on the street. If you like the old school look they'll save you a couple of hundred dollars. I'm not sure what the weight difference is.
