Default Ion alloy 174

Has anyone tried ion alloy 15" wheels with 4" backspacing? I can get a sweet deal on a set of new 15x10 ion 174 wheels with -38 offset. I really like the look of them but scared they won't fit. Any input is appreciated.

I just bought a set this week. I tried them on & they fit, barely. Spinned them around & nothing caught or squealed. Got my tires ordered & they will be installed next week. I'll post some results & pics next week. I love the look of the 15" weeks & beefy tires.

Have you had a chance to mount these?

Post some pics!!

I am considering this as an alternative for the Black Rock 909s that is now unavailable...

You got 15x10?

From what I am reading they are 3.5" BS.

Where did you get them? What tires did you get?

What size tires?

Hoping you can post a few pics.. Can you show how much they stick out? And, if you could, one of the spare.. showing how far out the spare sits from the rear gate. Did you get longer bump stops for the spare?
