I used a impact. Zipped off the old ones and zipped on the new ones.

That's a good price on the wheels. Might have to pick some of those up and try to get rid of my stockers!

Based on the reviews, if you do order from racemart or 4wheelparats I would call before you make the internet order to make sure the item(s) you want are in stock. That should avoid you going through a giant backorder delay. Since they charge your card pretty quick, you probably dont want to deal with that.

I called on the 30th and verified the rims were in stock. Ordered online that afternoon. Called back on monday to check on the status of shipping and they said 99% sure would be shipped today. Got the tracking info on tuesday and they came friday the 6th.

Did you get the 15" or 16" wheels? 7" or 8" width?

15"x8"

They didnt widen the track as quite as much as I had expected, but its good'nuff. Tires clear the fenders by maybe an inch. If you live in a state where the cops care about that, you would probably fine with these rims (my tires are 31x10.5x15) without adding flares.

I will be ordering the 16x8 today if they are instock. 4 wheel parts has a 5% discount code right now. 385 for 5 wheels to the door is too good to pass up!
