Well, i found a set of Eagle Alloy 058's on craigslist while i was on duty in Baltimore. I'm from MA, so i jumped and had a friend buy them for me and just hold on to them.
While in baltimore i found a set of 35" BFG's for the rims. . . got home last night and the rims are 16x10's. . . not 17x10's!
The craigslist seller lied. I'm assuming he just measured them w/a tape and saw 17 was the closest measurement. . . . great.

Lesson learned!

Now i'm stuck with a set of iffy 16" Eagle's, and a nice set of half life 35 All Terrains 17"


if u were in my posit which would u ditch?

If you like the wheels, id keep those and buy tires. If you kinda like the wheels, but like other ones better, keep the tires and buy wheels that fit the tires

IMO beefy tires look better on smaller rims

Thanks guys. I'm definitely not gonna ditch both, I have to keep one or the other

im leaning towards selling the wheels even though they are the ones I want, and they're hard to come by unless brand new. They are missing the center caps and reeeeeaaallly need to be cleaned. they're a mess
The tires were a really good score and hard to find. though 16" tires are easier to come by. . .
what to do :-(

Are you and the tires still in Baltimore? I'd consider buying them for the right price. Oh and Craigslist can be that way. I haven't had much luck with it. Tried to sell two transmissions and people tried to scam me both times. I think I misread and you were in Baltimore and your buddy bought the wheels and tires in MA right? After several edits I believe we established that I too am an idiot lol.
