okay, i'm really confused. i've been looking for some aftermarket wheels lately and everywhere i go i get the same answer. usually i'm told that no one makes a wheel that fits or that i'm crazy. please, someone help me with a web site or a company name or something. i really hate the factory wheels on this truck, even if one of you guys have an old set of aftermarket wheels that you don't want anymore. please help!!!!!!!!!

the rims are 5 on 5.5 same as a samuri, sidekick, tracker ect.
i had one set of stock samuri rims on once and i have stock chrome tracker rims on right now if your looking for a cheap set of black rims go to summit racing i got a set of four 15x8 crager rims they were 37 dollars a piece. tells those tire salesmen to pull there head out of there a$$e$. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

American Egale style 058 15x7's fit nicly, as do any 5x5.5 rims off a Ford Ranger or F-100

okay guys, maybe i should have been more specific, i need to know what off-set the rims you guys own have on them. i called american racing wheels directly and they said the stock off-set was 45mm. if i knew what off-set everyone else was running, it would make things alot easier on me. thanks. turtle.

I'm running 30 inch tires on American Eagle 15x7 rims with a 0 offset with no problems. http://www.aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_wheels.cfm?id=23

15 x 7 rims + 7 mm offset (1/4") with 31's (Actual diameter when new was 30.6") No clearance problems other than the usual rear fender/door area being trimmed and firewall seam folded (no sway bar). Rear minor scrubbing of RHS shock by tire on SEVERE articulation. 2" bodylift, 2.5" spring lift.

there is a massive amount of discussion on different factory wheels for different vehicles that fit the Sportage as well as a massive amount of discussion about what fits and what don't. use the search function to give you some ideas.

anything with a 5-5.5" bolt pattern will fit. period. offset means nothing. backspacing is more a matter of how much you want the tires to stick out as far as LOOKS go. if you don't want a 30-31" tire to rub with no lift, then get somethign close to stock backspace, but other than that, you don't need all that information. just TELL them what you want. if they say they can't do it, walk.

Dont forget to consider the size of the "hub hole". It has to be much larger than most rins to accomdate the locking hubs. Lots of factories wheels arn't big enough!

The Cheap cragars from Summit work great, mine are 4" offset.

Like Dave said, Back Spacing is more meaningful.
