Do you know if any of the other 15" MB tires fit? If they do fit, can you send me a quote for 5 BGF KM2 in 35x12.5x15 with the MB Chaos 5 wheels? If not, same tires with the MB72s. I'm not sure what backspacing I would need to work with my Teraflex 2.5" coil lift.

Thanks

Here are the links with our current mail order prices on both the wheels and tires. Mounting, balancing, and shipping is still FREE

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...r=1&wd=15&rw=8

**Note the wheel link reflects the Mirror Machined finish however pricing is the same for the Matte Black finish. We are currently waiting on more 15x8 Matte Black MB7 wheels to arrive. They should be in shortly

Has anyone run the 15x8 steel and then switched to these and measured the gas mileage difference? I'm running 15x8 steel now and getting 14mpg. Even a 1mpg difference would pay for these quickly with the amount of miles I'm driving.

I haven't seen it done but I'd certainly like to see some results from a test like this.
