Justin Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 a little off topic, I have the pace car rims on my cutlass, and one extra set. I also have a 90 Jeep Wagoneer that I've been looking for rims for. I got to thinking, why not use my pace car rims on the Jeep? They have the same bolt pattern, the pace car rims are .5" wider, and the offset is only off by .25! The offset really surprised me. I'm going to experiment with it this week at work, I have some 255 70R16 Wilderness ATs that I've been wanting to put on the Jeep, but haven't had the rims. It might look goofy, but I can't beat the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul You are correct. 16x6.5 is the stock size for the w-bodies with 16" rims. The TGP do on the other hand have the 16x8" crosslaced wheels because they needed a little more rubber under them.
