cragar soft 8's

[Schobanger]

so, i will be ordering my guard dog m/t's tomorrow, and i am looking into getting some cragar soft 8s to complete my blackout explorer. question i have is this: is the bolt pattern 5x114.3 the same thing as the bolt pattern 5x4.5? i have been told so, but i am just making sure because i dont want this to get messed up. thanks in advance

Yep, I have the same wheels on mine, I just paid $43 a piece from Summit Racing about two months ago.

which size backspacing did you have? also how did the wheel cover fit on the cragars?

The backspacing is 4" on a 15x8" wheel, it just clears my calipers. The center caps are from the junkyard, they can be found on 16" Explorer/Ranger rims and clip onto the factory ST, Explorer, Ranger lug nuts.

I picked them up for $5 a piece so I got five since I plan on having the spare mounted to a custom steel rear bumper with a swing out tire carrier (if I ever get time to build it).
