Hi . I am looking for a pair of this wheel. What I need are the front/7.5” wide version (not the rear/8.5”) Must be in great condition.
What I am doing is swapping-out the 8.5” rears so I can at least same-side rotate my tires. This means I will have a pair of 8.5” in great condition to sale or even trade for the 7.5?
If you run the 7.5" all around you'll be able to rotate them and make the tires last a lot longer. That's what I've done with my car.
In fact, someone posted that a 7.5 x 17 spare will fit in the trunk well, meaning you could even scare up one more to have a full-size spare and rotate five tires.
I'll be running Continental ExtremeContact DWS, which are asymmetrical. So I won't be able to swap across all 4, but I will be able to swap fr & rr on each side.
I have found a replica online for $165 new. If I don't find a good deal on OEM, I'll pick-up a pair of the new ones. What stinks is I could have bought a full set for $200 locally last fall.
