Hey guys. So I'm planing on buying new tires and wheels soon(i just cant stand the baby moons and white walls any more). So i was looking at this magnum 500 Kit from CJ Pony Parts. With either the two 215/60 and two 235/60 or the other set with two 225/60 and two 275/60. My car is 5-lug with the stock suspension. It does not say anything about the backspacing and lug pattern other than being 5-lug, how can i tell if it will fit? I don't want a lot of rubbing, will the 275/60 be to big? So what do you guys think would be better overall? If know anyplace that sells a like kit cheaper, let me know.
Thanks for the input.

So there should not be any problem with lug spacing?

I bought the same kit from CJ's without the tires for my 65. I plan on going with the 215/60/15's up front with 225/60/15's in the rear. I am being told that if I go larger that I will have to roll the rear fenders.

I decided to go ahead and get the package with 215/65r15 for the front and 235/65r15 for the back, however the package ended-up coming with cooper cobra radials rather that BFG tires, no big deal for me. the set came mounted, balanced and inflated! perfect! they went right on no problem and look great! i have not got to drive it yet(and won't be able to until march-or-so), damn montana snow . but they look like they have plenty of room so i'm not worried about rubbing. You can see some pictures on my MySpace.
Thanks Guys!
