[FlightTest]

I am not sure if it has been posted but American is now remaking the vector wheel in 15X7 and 15X8.5.

those pics don't do the wheels justice. A buddy of mine ordered some recently for his charger and they are friggen sweeeeeeet! The craftsmanship is amazing.

was thinking of getting some but they dont have the correct BS for our cars from what i saw.

The b.s spacing is 4" not 3.5. Forget about putting any big tire on it. Basically useless in my opinion

I believe the 4" b.s. would work, it's the 5" b.s. that won't. Anyone call to see if these are available in other backspacings? Or did we just get left out (again)?

I'm guessing they are not available in other backspacings since it's a cast wheel.

Here is a 28 x 10 slick on a 3.5" b.s vector. The pics explain why a 4" wont work.http://www3.sympatico.ca/norbz/megaslic.JPG

15x7 with 4" BS is the same as the original GN rims, not the same as the Ttype rims though which had 3.75 BS.
275/60/15 will fit on the 4" BS, 275/50/15 will not.

5" bs is nfg. We be screwed.

A Listing for GN Specifically.

Used the application guide and got this for the AR Vector SE's:

15x7 W 4 3/8" BS

 

[norbs]

With still 4 3/8 were still screwed, I contributed in trying to get the correct backspacing made , but they did and would not meet our demands. I give up!

Who wants 7" wide rims anyways.
