I bought a set of 15 x 7 cheapy aftermarket steel wheels to run studded tires on in the winter and had to run spacers to clear the front calipers also.  Who makes wheels that will fit with out spacers?

The factory Tracker steelies and aluminum rims are 5.5" and 6" respectively with 4.25" back spacing, as I recall. Both will hold a 235 series tire just fine.

but they're kinda ugly :D


Does anyone know if 15" samurai rims fit? Probably not, but those factory bullet hole rims look great!

I know they are ugly... I didn't care for the second gen steelies (or aluminum rims) so I bought a set of five steelies from a 2nd gen 98' tracker at the local junk yard, painted them semi-gloss black (cause i don't like silver) and I'm rolling with them.  For me, I just want to stay with factory back spacing and keep my tires under the fenders.  94' Kicks came with the bullet hole steel rims from the factory too.

Yes, Derek runs 235/75R15 All Terrain tires on Samurai rims on a stock 4 door.  A little rubbing on the back of the fender when turning and backing up, other then that no issues.
