Mostly worried about width vs. height. I don't mind the 30" tire size,
but I'd like the 255mm width. I bought these other rims and tires on
Craigslist from a guy who had them on his '93, but of course it turned
out he "forgot" to tell me he had a 3" body lift and some custom made
diamond plate fender flares on it at the time. He wanted a wider track
width so he bought rims for the Nissan Frontier pickup that uses the
6x4.5 pattern but has an odd backspacing to the point that the tires
would hit the back of the wheel wells when turning. :p
The guy only wants $125 for a set of 4 so I guess it's worth it. :)
