Wow.... 22 views and no replies.  No one can help?  We need to order new wheels for a Tracker and I'd like to know the consensus.  Will 3.75"BS work?  Will it work with a spacer?  What works without a spacer?

The second gen Trackers have a very large front brake caliper set up that makes it very hard to find after market 15 inch wheels that will clear the brake caliper. Back spacing is not the issue. Spacers may push the wheel away from the caliper but they also increase the arc of the tire in the wheel well, limiting tire choices. Thats all I got...

I run 15x7 with 235's 3.5bs on my 01 and the tires rub a little when turning, I think 15x8 would be worse
