FOURSKIA,
Your rig looks really nice with the lift. Impressive stance.
I know your pain when it comes to the shock location and tire rub. I have the wheels to go on my rig with 2.5" backspacing, might be too little backspacing, will inform later when I get the money to install the new wheels. The Ford rims if available should do the trick, or order cheep steelies like I did, just not with so little backspacing. Don't off road your Sporty unless you just want to roll on springs, cause it looks like the shocks will snap on a bump at this time. Mine did, several times. Continuous replacement part till I get the wheels on. My passenger side shock broke the other day when some of my wifes big girlfriends <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> got in the Sporty. I was on a ice, slid, corrected, and the rear end swayed back and forth then the shock broke again. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />


Thanks Richard, I'm now currently on the hunt for some cheap rims, keep us posted when you get yours on. Sounds like you have thicker shocks cus I had 3 fairly large blokes in the back of mine and other then some scuffing it didn't cus it to snap... then again we don't have snow/ice covered roads to deal with here in Syd <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />, but I'm sure that it will break/bend off-road. But from what DAMKIA has written the new wheels should do the trick. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Sportage, 75mm lift, 30"s A/T,UHF& HF, AVM hubs and more to come.
