I am having a hard time finding rims for my 48 chev panel. Some say get rid of the split rims. If I have someone to put tires on the split rims are they safe or is it best to change now. All the rims I have found hit the tie rod end. Do you know of a rim that will fit these 8 lug hubs and not hit the rods. The other thing is a spacer. Will they work. Good or Bad. Thanks for you help
