Default Jegs Wheels

Everytime I try to use the search function, it says that "no records were found." Anything I search it says this. Anyway, I was wanting to see if anyone has tried the Jegs Sportlite wheels (the Draglite knock-offs). I wanted to see if anyone had any pics of them as well and what size and b/s they have. (Im thinking 15x8 on the rear with either 4.5 or 5.5 b/s.) I dont have the quad shock setup either, if that matters. Thanks

Will the 4.5 b/s rub on the lip? Or is it more of a looks preference? It will have a 27" tall tire. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the link. I couldve figured this out in just a few mins if my search would work. Anyway I like the look of the 4.5 bs better. I think the tires sticking out a little looks nice. I just dont know if the tire will rub and Im going with a 27" tire. Has anyone done this? Thanks for all advice, I appreciate it

I went with 15x8 5.5 bs and 275/50/15 on mine... so I think you might rub over bumps with 27" tire

Originally thats the size tire I was going to go with but the car is just geared a little too low so Im gonna go with the 27". I figured it would rub with the 4.5 but I was just wanting to make sure before I spent the money. How do you like your wheels Matt?
