Summit has them for $154.95 but i just talked to them and they will price match National Tire and Wheel for $114.95 a wheel + $10.95 shipping........

talk to Roland at extention 5789

that is a killer deal....

personally those are for the mall crawlers and the soccer mommies

4 wheel mags say no more then half the tire size

National Tire and Wheel is the best price? is that for the 15x8's or 15x10's? because that price i gave from Summit was for the 15x10's......they would beat 4 wheel parts price for the 15x8's as well......and only charge $10.95 for shipping to your door...

yup.....standard $10.95 for all 4 wheels shipped.....they do free shipping only a $10.95 handling charge.......

Summit will price match the 15x8's from National Tire and Wheel......they have to look up the part # for it because it is such a new wheel.....

Summit......they wont charge you any more for shipping for them either.....get the lug nuts that are good for harsh conditions and wont chip the chrome off or rust.....it is worth the extra few bucks...

and with Summit, the center cap comes with the wheel, you dont have to buy it seperate like you do with National Tire and Wheel....

Personally I think they look better with the little bit of shine and just the wheel and some detail being black.

Definite possibility if I get aftermarket 15's for the SAS and the 5x5.5 inch bolt pattern of the new axle. I'll have spacers on the back.

I want to start with the stock F-150 wheels to get a hint of where I need to go with backspacing to have a good balance between steering geometry and turning radius.

any machine shop should be able to re-drill your rear axle plates for the 5x5.5 bolt patter John.......that would be better than running spacers....

technically there isnt enough material to drill stock ranger/explorer axles to 5.5. it can be done *more* safely w/screw in studs, but still not the best option.

guess FORD screwed up then when they put 30" tires on 16" rims stock
im runnin 33's on 17's and wheel it as often as i get the chance. guess i should stick to the parkin lots....
