Default 15" wheels that actually fit??

So, my lift kit just came, and I'm in the market for some 35" tires. I'd like to buy some new wheels, not too fond of my factory 16" alloys.

So what 15 wheels fit, looking at both aluminum, and steel, not sure what to get yet?

Pics, please?

i havent heard of any 15" aluminum that fit. 15" steel with 3.75" backspacing fits, sometimes a small amount of grinding needs done on the brake caliper.

15" steel and aluminum fit with 3.75" or less BS.

4" BS on cragars require minor grinding on the outside bar.

I've heard Walker evans 15" rims w/ 4.5" BS fit with out rubbing but they are very expensive.

Tons of threads on this out there also

I have been running 15x10 pro Comp 8169's for a couple of years now. No rubbing.

Thanks, I was looking for both pics, and testimony on what fits. I have Spidertrax 1.5" spacers, but I don't want the tires to stick out way past my flares.

Here is a pic for you. With after market wheels you shouldn't need the spacers.

Looks great! Do the 15x10 wheels stick out very far past the flares, and did you have to do any brake caliper grinding to make them fit?

Thanks!

Default 15x8 Eagle Alloys

I have 15x8 Eagle Alloys that fit great with no grinding. They are aluminum. They look almost identical to the Pro Comps above, but much cheaper. I paid $100 each.

Good to know! I ran a set of Eagle 16x8 wheels like that, but they were just polished, on an F-150 I had about 9 years ago, and they were nice!

So my options are expanding now, pretty much decided on 35x12.50-15 KM2's for tires, now I just have to shop for wheels.

Thanks
