Triple posting hahaha

I forgot to add that they have properly offset wheels for fox 5 lug conversion using stock axles. Which are the 8" wide with 5.5 backspacing. I run a 28x12.5x15 tire.

Just had a chance to check load ratings on the rolling stock I have on site, the Euro 165s I have on a set of Pro Stars are rated at 1185 lbs. w/ 44 psi max. these are the VW tires you can get at Pep Boys and are a 2 ply radial. The Mickey Sportsmans on my '89 are rated at 965 lbs. w/ 30 psi max. The Mickey's are a 2 ply bias type. I mounted the Euros on my '95 GT and they sit fine with no noticable sidewall bulge. If I remember correctly they were under $50 a tire.
