Those aren't the same wheels I have. I'll put up some pics tomorrow. Leaning towards 1" wheel spacers , that will put my effective back spacing at around 3.5". Much cheaper than new wheels.

Re: Best prices on Moog parts?

Thanks for the info on the "R Series". I'm guess Moog is still the best as long as I don't get anything with an 'R' part number. I'll check out Rock Auto too. Thanks guys.
