Topic: What wheels will fit over the vented rotor calipers swaped on a solid axle

[Rocktoy2]

I just recieved a set of Crawler extreme steel wheels. The center hits the calipers before the mount face does.

I have the calipers and rotors from Marlin on a solid axle. Does anyone know of any 8" wheels with a 2.5 to 3" back space that will fit over these calipers? I really don't want to run spacers.

Also is there anyone interested in 15x8 Crawler extreme steel wheels with a 2.75 back space in the Modesto, CA area? I'll sell them for what I can get on the return.

did you order these new wheels??   why didnt you specify  the bs  you needed??

how about 1 inch spacers?

I ordered the wheels that I am offering to sell. Buy selling these I hope to save the cost of return shippment and if someone is interested in them they will save the cost of shipping.
The wheels do not fit because of the shape of the center of the wheel. The back space does not have an effect on this.
I have stock steel wheels on my truck now that clear the calipers just fine but they are only 6.5 inches wide and I would like to run 12.5 wide tires.
Wheel manufactures use different center designs so I was hoping someone on this board may have had some experience with this issue and may have found a wheel with a center shape that will clear the caliper.
I tried using the search feature but I did not find any information on the subject other than people use spacers to offset the wheel to clear the calipers.

I really really don't want to run spacers.

If I can't find any production wheels that will fit then I'll have to run 33x9.50s again or go the custom route of having the centers of my stock wheels put into an 8" wide outer. I'm thinking that will be pricey though.

Have you called Stockton Wheel in Stockton? They can move the center.

Have you called Stockton Wheel in Stockton? They can move the center.

Yea just got off the phone with them. $175 each to put my stock centers in 8" wide outers. 

Hmm keep the Crawler wheels and go back to the stock brakes or stay with the tall skinny tires??

I'd say to sell those wheel's and buy your self some new one's....
