Soft 8 397 Series Wheel
Size: 16'' x 8''
Bolt Circle: 5 x 135mm
Rear Spacing: 5''

16x7 front, 16x8 rear..... just something im thinking about.

 

also, do 11.5" wide tires fit on 16x8" wheels?

 

I like 'em. Any grinding required?

 

I wouldnt think grinding would be needed b/c they are 16x8, but i'd buy 1 first and make sure it would mount on the front and back w/o problems before ordering 3 more.

 

They fit no problems on the rear. The front needs a 5/16" spacer to clear the front of the caliper bracket. I have them for winter tires. Just a heads up I wouldn't order them from Jegs. I ordered 4 from jegs and 2 were backordered while the 2 that shipped were both damaged. Sent those back and had 4 on back order. Another one came and it was also damaged. I ordered 4 from summit and all 4 came perfect.

fast95z:

thanks man, looks good. are those the stock tails in that pic?

 

Those look a lot like the ones I found at Summit made by US Wheel. I think they both look pretty cool, especially on a black truck.

 

I run on 16x8" rims with 11.5" wide ET streets. So yes they work. But if I were to buy new wheels I'd go with a 10" wide rim.

10" wide is better than 8" when using that wide of a tire.

 

no, they are the adjure bermuda black tails.

If anyone is interested, I have 2 American Racing 16x8's black steel wheels I used with 26x11.5x16 ET Streets (tires not included). E-mail me if anyone is interested. Cheap.
