15x8 wheels

Post by element7878 »

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...

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

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

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.
