No I bought them at the junkyard when they were still setting wheels back in 2008.

Ursan. What color is this? Is this plastidipped?

Bitterbuffaloh · Oct 21, 2016

Plastidip the future. Neighbor knows that I can take off tires so he offered me 6 cans of plastidip to blackout his wheels. Sort of tempted to do so and spray my car

Redwood Chair · Oct 21, 2016

Show me the money.

Stiggy Pop · Oct 22, 2016

Flex Blue, Plasti-dip.

3 gallons. very simple and forgiving application.

Next year I'll peel and do a different shade. Perhaps Tardis blue.

88 240 DL on ZJ Sawblades - 15x7"

ZJ Grand Cherokee Sawblades.

Theses suckers are heavy, feel like they're forged out of granite or something. :lol:

But, they were $10/ea.

Tire stickers are way better than hand painting each tire....ugh.

30mm Spacers all around
185-65/15 front
205-60/15 rear

This is before I lowered the car.
Front suspension is bottomed out due to dead struts and the stock springs have to hold up a SBC.

Ultimately, I'd love to see if I can get a set of 15" 740 hubcaps to fit a dished 15x8 steel wheel.

I think I should paint the voids black.

16x8 ARE 398's with the centers milled out for open lugs.

Are those 5x108? What are the offsets?

Yep. ET+20. Rare bird there.

I had the center mounting "pods" machined off then the center opened just a tad to fit the iron mark caps nice and snug.

I would like some input on these wheels for sale locally. How would they fit and look on the 242? With adaptors and spacers of course.
Seller says they have 5 inch backspacing, Dont know how to convert that to mm offset. Bolt pattern is described as 4-3/4. Fits most GM cars.
Center cap says "ARE"

Also have these local.

I would like to go wider on the rim than the mercury wheel though.

And of course the trusty ol Salad Shooters.
These are off a 1987 dont know if they have a staggerd width. Seller says they "Match" and came off a 1987

Any input would be great. Thanks TB
