They're just like any other steel wheel.

aha well for instance I was reading about the summit brand wheels and people had problems balancing them and crap like that they said over 50 they had bad vibrations and stuff like that but anyway just wanted to see if anyone ran the jegs, I did some research and ppl say these are solid.

Also what backspacing should I get im doing a 3in lift and I want to put on 31s atm i only have 235s, I was thinking 4in or 3.75in backspacing I want the tires to stick out a little but dont want them tearing up the flares if i hit a bump

3.75 or 4" will be fine and I've run several sets of the Summit/Cragar wheels and they balanced fine. You just have some shops that don't know how to properly balance them.

I went with a 4.5" backspacing, they stick out a little. No rubbing on 4.5" lift, 31s. 5.25" is stock backspacing, FYI.

I bought the Cragar "Soft 8" wheel for $58 from Jeg's nice steel wheels. They are 15x8" with 4" of backspace I'm running 33x12:50x15 on mine 3" lift with a spacer and trimmed ft. fender wells no problems. Do have good suspension travel adj. lower control arms, sway bar disconnect still needs improvement.

Ah ok well just wana say i found a pretty good deal on craigs paid 200 got american racing outlaws 2 rims 15x8 with 31s on them. Tires still got a decent amount of tread left. Only problem is it seems like the car they were on the alignment was off because the outer edge has more tread than the inside edge but thats only on 2 tires the other 2 are fine. I was thinking the ones that have uneven wear to put them on the rear and the good ones on the front does that sound right ?
