Let me understand this--you put the same size tire on all four OEM rims(2 different widths)??If yes,what size tire did you use??

No, you get two rear rims (5" wide) and use them with rear size tires on them... Now your Good-To-Go... Fronts are only 4 1/2" (only good to use for spares)

I have 3 OEM "Pure" steel wheels and am looking for a 4th, I also have 1 front OEM steel wheel with a donut spare tire that I use for a spare. A hundred dollars for one steel wheel from the dealer is just out of my price range. Anyone got one OEM steel rear wheel for sale?
