Hi all,

Just wondering if someone could tell me which model number will fit on my '02 XE 4X2? I am interested in the Eagle 055. I have the 16" wheels on now and want to put my tires on the new rims. Thanks in advance.

Actually non of them will work properly, you need to get a rim with as close to the factory backspacing as possible otherwise you will have tire to fender contact and wear steering/suspension components out quickly. The stock backspacing is 5.25"

The 055x-7766 model will mount, but it sure wont fit (16x7 6 on 5.5 -10mm). The wheels will stick out about an inch and a half more than stock.

Thanks you VERY MUCH for your prompt replies. I was "this close" to paying for them. Ughhh

I really like the look of the 055...oh well. Any suggestions for a brand/model that is similar and WILL fit?

I know this isn't super exciting, but I went with some '96(ish?) Pathfinder wheels. Not a lot of other choices out there, but you'll have to keep lookin'.

BTW, those are 32" tires on 15's.
