I believe it's the 97s and 98s that came with this wheel or similar that is 16" and 5x4.5


Or go after market with +20, that will get you to 4.75 backspacing (IIRC).

With most steel wheels the most BS is going to be 4" But, go buy whatever wheels you want in the correct pattern.

As does Summit Racing and Jegs a lot of the time they have the best prices or will price match with anyone plus free shipping.
