    i guess the next major issues im having on my project is the current wheels under my van have too much dish and not allowing for enought clearance turn to turn without major rubbing. i need steelies in 14x5 or 6 that have alot of positive offset. little to no dish for lack of a better description. this will allow the wheels to get sucked in further allowing for the clearance i need. what vehicles can i look for in the junkyard that will make this happen?

    I think some of the ranger steelies and maybe some aluminum may even be shallow enough for us....

    You know the wheels on my old '87 Toyota P/U might work. They've got the right 5x4.5 bolt pattern and don't have much if any dish.

    WOW!!!!! Are you going to run the 6 banger in that van???? With that ride height you might have to run 4 inch wheels with spacers and you may still have to flare the tubs. Do you have stops on that axle? If not you might need to fab something. BTW, that is one of the baddest custom frames I have ever seen!!!

    Yea...there's quite a bit that has to go on to do this. Im trying to utilize the front stock axle but I did an axle flip and with the bodydrop its about a 9 inch drop altogether. I will fab the wheel tubs to accommodate the drop I will initially have when I do the mustang II front clip.

    Will the stock 14" wheels work? I have some I don't need.
