Wide Rims

Post by BobR »

Can anyone tell me more about the rear wheels on this truck. They look great. How wide a tire could you use without tire rub? Who makes them? Any info would be appreciated

Thank You
Bob R

Not too sure about the ones pictured above but Stockton Wheel ( http://www.stocktonwheel.com/ ) and Wheel Vintiques ( http://www.wheelvintiques.com/ ) have a wide selection of styles and also have measuring instructions on their respective websites to aid you in getting the right wheel for your specific application.

yea thats tds truck. those wheels came from a junk yard.they are 15x10 with i think 265x60 tires. since he bought them i have seen them on orginal scouts. the only problem with the aftermarket wheels is that you cant run the factory dog dish hubcaps. i would love to have 10s on mine but i guess 8 with 31x10.5 will do for now
