so i just got a phone call from tirepackage.comthey said that the wheels that i ordered arent going to fit dpes any one know if 15" rock crawler rims with 3.75bp will fit an 03 qx4, i doubt them because they also told me my lugs were 5x5 1/4 which is just rediculous

will the wheels clear the brakes?

I can't give you a definite answer, but I think I heard somewhere that you can clear the brakes with 15" wheels but it's pushing it.And yeah, if they told you your lugs were 5x5 1/4, I wouldn't put much stock into what they say.

DO NOT GET THOSE RIMS IN A 15! i got them and they just barely hit the caliper, u need to get 16's, and ufortunately the ONLY rimsmade by pro comp, that are there steel rockcrawler with the 3.75 inch backspace, is there 87 series. i get those, look great and got em cheap. oh ya yur lug patttern is a 6x5.5, just incase u didnt know

they just barely hit the calipers, ya u cud shave a lil off your calipers,with a grinder.i didnt want to kuz idk wut that cud do to my brakes....brakes r kinda important man. but put the wheelon, ust dry fir it, dont tighten down the lug nuts or anything, and spin it, u'll see where it hits the caliper. its weird kuz there r guys with 15's on their pathys and they claim to fit, others likeme cant, idk wut it is, its annoying tho, its more expensive 2 buy tires for 16's rather than 15's
