Right now I have 15x7" wheels with 12.50 tires it works. I'm switching to 15x8" in the spring though.

cause the 15x8's are 4.75 and not 4.5


Even their website doesnt list the wheel I want, the style, in a 15x8 with 4.5


only 4.75

why do u want more backspacing than a stock wheel? its just going to tuck the tire in closer to the truck instead of pushing it out a bit.

the backspacing is 3.75. what he was saying was they didnt have 5x4.5 bolt pattern just 5x4.75 unless he went down to 7 inch wheel.

but Trent has linked to the correct 15x8 wheels. good wheels just a b!tch to clean. I had them on my 99.
