the reason I edited it was it looked more like 4 wheel drive wheels but some would work.http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/home.do
Here is another and I believe they give lifetime free balance.

Well I kind of like the Mickey Thompson Classic II. Are they 4x4 wheels or would they work on a T? Only thing is, for the bolt pattern and backspacing I'm looking for they only come up to 10" wide and I don't think that's wide enough (?)

I think you need to determine the offset you need then look at the wheels and see what is available in your offset. Most of the wheel mfg will post a chart with these dimentions on their web site. JUST beware and dont get so wide and to little offset and get your tire to close to the body. I would bet that josh at spirit could shed spme light on this with their body and your rearend setup.

They are one in the same just a dif way of saying the same thing. Think of a 10 inch wide wheel if the mounting surface is centered it would have zero offset and 5 inches of backspacing. If it is 1 inch further inside than it has 1'' neg offset or 4 inches of backspacing. Todays new car wheels are all pos offset. But please dont take my word for it check it out and decide what suites your taste. Here is a chart that may help a bit.

If you are going to run a 10" wide tread width, then a 14" wheel is good also.. Keeps the tire from rolling in the rim, side to side, with low tire pressures, well the just right tire pressure... as each finished car requires their own amount of tire pressure, tested with a short spin, and a reading from the rubber marks...

Ah, that makes perfect sense, thanks.

So maybe I'll go with a 14" wide wheel and 12" tread width. I was just looking at Hoosiers on Jegs and it looks like in that size they only come 31" tall.
