Us Wheels dont fit?????

I purchased some us wheels for my 1997 and they rubbed on the caribers? They are 16x7 with a 0 offset and 4 backspacing. I know the back spacing needs to be at least 4.5, but could i throw on spacers to fix that problem? I'm not a huge fan of wheel spacers though. Help! Thank you

Ryan

Wheel spacer should work just fine.

yes hopefully it does, but i just hate using spacers because it puts more stress on my lug nuts. Plus those spacers make my truck vibrate

That's weird. The 4 inches of BS should actually give you more room. How bad are they rubbing? If it's very slight you could grind a little metal off the calipers.

Thumbs up

Fer sure, thanks for the advice. I ended up grinding down the caribers and the wheels fit fine! Wheels look great
