They not only fit but look way cool. Mine are 15's and barely hit the tie rod when fully turned one way or the other. I just don't make any tight circle turns.

And there is no clearance problems with the old type tie rods. Perfect. Try that with a Ford.

It cost me $28.00 plus gas and tax for the entire conversion from the time I rolled the dinasaur out from under my truck till I bolted the Rally wheels on.:-)  | | |
