15x8 wheels
I was thinking about getting 15x8 wheels all the way around my truck. Any suggestions or wheel setup pictures? I really like the cragar nomad II's...

Re: 15x8 wheels
I just picked up some steel 15x8's to run on the back of mine, I think they look great on bump sides

Re: 15x8 wheels
In order for the rear wheels not to look like they are too skinny you need to run wider wheels in the back than the front. I used to run 10" wheels and 50's in the back with 8" wheels in the front and liked the looks a lot. Got rid of those years ago and am running stock 80-90"s aluminum wheels and like them but wish the wheels all had the same looks front to back

Re: 15x8 wheels
swap in a 73 and up rear and the front and rear will be the same. Just move the spring perches and shock mounts. Not much work at all.
