    Chip Foose Legend Rims

    I am selling my Foose Legend rims with tires. The tires have been driven around for about 500 miles (they still have a lot of tread). They fit a 5x4.75 lugnut bolt pattern. The fronts are 17" and the rears are 18". I have checked ebay, craigslist, and various shops/places selling these rims. You wont get a better deal. If interested, text me at (five five nine) three four eight-seven one five eight.

    Are you just selling the "rims" or the whole wheels?

    It might help to know the width and offset or backspacing of the wheels, and the size of tires. Just a suggestion.

    1) Selling my rims and tires together.

    2) Front rims are 7" wide & rear rims are 8" wide.

    3) Fronts wheels have 4" backspacing. Rears have 4 & 1/2" backspacing.

    4)Tires are NEXEN N3000. Front tires are 225/45R17. Rear tires are 245/45R18.

    5) I'm in Fresno, CA.

    Also, depending on where you live, I might consider the cost involved to ship them and or travel involved to pick them up.

    Also, for those of you who don't know, this is a link to a calculator that allows you to input your cars setup and the dimensions of the rims & tires you want to use. Correct me if I'm wrong...didn't you create this calculator Chevynut? I found it useful when I purchased the rims I'm selling.

    Oh yeah, also, I definitely take into consideration if you can get these same rims and tires or similar ones brand new at the same price (which I doubt you will find, but who knows).

    Yes Michael, I developed the spreadsheet that was the basis for the calculator on that website (as the website owner indicated). I also still have the spreadsheet which helps calculating your rearend width when your tires and wheel sizes are known. I can put it up on Trifivechevys if someone tells me how. It's an Excel spreadsheet so some knowledge of Excel is required.

    Got the picture thing figured out after all these years (I never knew what a bb code was, never seen one even used before).

    Anyway...

    These first two pics are from when I had the gray Eagle Alloys Boss 338 set of rims (18” in the front and 20” in the rear). I didn’t like how high my Nomad sat and the fact that the front tires were going to rub the front fenders with the slightest turn.





    So I went back to the local shop where I bought the rims and they put on a rim size that they thought would fit. We checked it out and I was happy. I then went ahead and got some credit for the Eagle Alloys and paid the difference for the chrome Chip Foose Legend Rims (17” in the front and 18” in the rear).



    So that’s the story. I have receipts for proof. In either case…first person to put $1,000 cash in my hand (or a really close offer…?) text me at (559) three four eight-seven one five eight.

    I figured someone would have taken them off my hands by now. I'll get some individual pics of the rims soon (I have them packed away now and need to pull them out).
