fitment regarding Pro comp rims

Post by bagged sonoma »

I know theres plenty of topics on wheels and backspacing/offset, but can anyone tell me if procomp rims series 1079 15x8 w 3.75 " BS will fit my CC? i'm doin the PA body lift and possibly suspension in the future. but for right now just body lift and wheels. sorry for this repetitive post topic, but i got tired of reading thru all the wheel posts.

Not enough rear spacing for the front.

I have cranked my Torsion bars up 1 1/2", installed 1 1/2" Daystar lift shackles on the rear and full size Bump stops off '94 full size halfton chevy pickup, solid stops front ,hollow stops rear. This has given me plenty of lift in mild driving off road to clear my 30x9.5, not sure of taller tires yet. I am also on 8x15 wheels with 3 3/4" back spacing
3 3/4" back spacing works perfect, and clears everything with simple 1 1/2" Torsion Bar crank . The only problem is you have to be a little easier on speed over bumps, dips, and jumps. Your front tires will set about 1 1/2" outside your fenders and will hit the top of the wheel wells when the fender comes down to hard. I've been running on 8x15's with 3 3/4" back spacing (BS) for 2 yrs now and thats the total of any problems with that wheel settup. :) 8)

31x10.5's would be too big for that setup then?

Yes, unless you are ready to massage your sheet metal or your CC is purely a street machine and you have no inclined driveways.
